  • Compositions and methods using split polymerases
    Patent number: 9085762
    Abstract: The invention relates to compositions and methods utilizing split polymerase enzymes composed of at least two discrete polypeptides that stably associate to form a single polymerase. The invention further relates to nucleic acid constructs for expressing the split polymerases of the invention, and methods for using the split polymerases of the invention. The enzymes of the invention are useful in many applications calling for the detectable labeling of nucleic acids and are particularly useful in quantitative PCR (QPCR) and DNA sequencing applications.
    Type: Grant
