Abstract
Isolated nucleic acids which encode a thermostable protein which binds specifically to bulge loops in a heteroduplex nucleic acid and recombinant vectors comprising nucleic acid which encodes a thermostable protein which binds specifically to bulge loops in a heteroduplex nucleic acid are disclosed. Also disclosed are isolated thermostable proteins which bind specifically to bulge loops in a heteroduplex nucleic acid and host cells comprising a recombinant gene which can express a thermostable protein which binds specifically to bulge loops in a heteroduplex nucleic acid. Further disclosed are a method of reducing DNA misincorporation in an amplification reaction, methods for detecting a nucleic acid which includes a specific sequence, a method for amplifying a nucleic acid comprising a specific sequence, and a method for selecting against a nucleic acid comprising a specific sequence.
