Abstract excerpt
Residual activity of polymerase chain reaction DNA polymerases in restriction analyses strongly affected genetic profiling based on terminal restriction fragment length polymorphisms. Artificial fragment sizes produced as a result of 5'-overhang restriction site fill-in and addition of a terminal A may bias genetic profiling and genotyping of microbial communities. Efficient removal of polymerases retained...
