Non-radioactive screening of DNA polymerases by using oligo r(A-U) as primer/template for reverse transcriptase activity.

polymerase (lane e), and Thermococcus litoralis-derived Vent@ DNA polymerase (lane f) synthesized poly d(A-T), while Pyrococcus sp・-derived PyrobestTM DNA polymerase (lane g) failed to synthesize poly d(A-T). ThoughBcaBESTTM DNA polymerase was known to have RT activity (including Takara's RT-PCR kit), the RT activities of KOD and Vent@ DNA polymerases have not been yet reported. It should be mentioned that some thermostable DNA polymerases, such
