A proprietary gold standard heat-stable DNA polymerase alternative to Taq reagent synthesized and sold by Thermo Fisher Scientific. Unlike Taq which was isolated from thermophilic bacteria, Phusion emulates an archaea-based enzyme that evolved in the hydrothermal vents from extremeophile species. They function as DNA polymerases essentially in a form biomimickry with minimal replication error. The purpose of Phusion is to amplify target DNA sequences in the PCR protocol. Phusion PCR is more expensive but worth the investment to increase the accuracy of the run.Hugoen
