Takara Taq DNA Polymerase is a recombinant version of full length Taq polymerase. It has the same characteristics and capabilities as the native Taq polymerase, and is suitable for a variety of standard PCR applications. The polymerase is supplied with separate tubes of buffer (Mg2+ plus) and dNTPs. The resulting PCR product can be cloned directly into a T-vector (TA cloning) due to the addition of an adenosine (A) to the 3' end. It is also possible to clone the PCR product into blunt-end vectors after blunting and phosphorylation of the ends.
