General description

REDTaq® Genomic DNA Polymerase is a unique blend of Taq DNA Polymerase with an inert red dye. This special formulation is designed to provide enhanced amplification of more complex or genomic templates. REDTaq Genomic DNA Polymerase is highly sensitive, produces increased yields and is capable of generating longer product lengths. It has all the advantages of REDTaq DNA polymerase, such as easy visualization of enzyme addition and complete reaction mixing, and direct loading to an agarose gel. The inert red dye does not effect automated or manual sequencing, restriction digestions or other downstream applications. The dye can easily removed by any standard purification method.
The DNA polymerases are enzymes that create DNA molecules by assembling nucleotides (the building blocks of DNA). These enzymes are essential for DNA replication and usually work in pairs. It creates two identical DNA strands from a single original DNA molecule. During this process, DNA polymerase “reads” the existing DNA strands to create two new strands that match the existing ones.

Application

REDTaq® Genomic DNA Polymerase is used for routine PCR amplification of genomic DNA.

Features and Benefits

  • Enhanced amplification on genomic and difficult DNA templates
  • Same great performance as Taq DNA Polymerase in a more convenient format for high throughput applications
  • Quick recognition and confirmation of appropriate mixing
  • No loading buffers or tracking dyes necessary. Sample can be taken directly from reaction and loaded onto an agarose gel
  • The samples can be re-amplified as in nested PCR
  • The red dye migrates faster than bromophenol blue
  • Greater consistency across reactions due to proper mixing

Unit Definition

One unit incorporates 10 nmol of total dNTPs into acid precipitable DNA in 30 min. at 74°C.

Hypoxia is prevalent in atherosclerotic plaques, promoting plaque aggravation and subsequent cardiovascular disease (CVD). Transmembrane protein carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX) is hypoxia-induced and can be shed into the circulation as soluble CAIX (sCAIX). As plaque macrophages are hypoxic, we hypothesized a

We examined the relationship between aberrant DNA hypermethylation and key histone code components at a hypermethylated, silenced tumor suppressor gene promoter in human cancer. In lower eukaryotes, methylated H3-lysine 9 (methyl-H3-K9) determines DNA methylation and correlates with repressed gene transcription.
