Abstract
The invention relates to a substantially pure thermostable DNA polymerase from (Tne). The Tne DNA polymerase has a molecular weight of about 100 kilodaltons and is more thermostable than Taq DNA polymerase. The present invention also relates to the cloning and expression of the Tne DNA polymerase in , to DNA molecules containing the cloned gene, and to host cells which express said genes. The Tne DNA polymerase of the invention may be used in well-known DNA sequencing and amplification reactions.
