i am facing mutation in cloning different fragments of promotor region of a gene with pMD19 simple vactor, what should i do to avoid this mutation? i changed the enzyme for PCR amplification but still facing this problem
You can use Platinum Pfx DNA Polymerase since it is ideal for amplification of DNA fragments for high-fidelity PCR. High fidelity is provided by a proprietary enzyme preparation containing recombinant DNA polymerase from Thermococcus species KOD with proofreading activity.
I myself have used Hi-Fi-DNA polymerase and KOD Neo polymerase enzymes, luckily both maintained high fidelity.
Taq has a reputation for replication errors but suitable for routine amplification applications like genotyping or checking for the presence of an insert.
