title: Analyses of PCR products using DNA templates containing a consecutive deoxyinosine sequence.
abstract: We determined nucleotide incorporation specificity of four thermostable DNA polymerases opposite deoxyinosine in order to evaluate the mutagenic effect of the presence of a consecutive deoxyinosine sequence during PCR amplification. Deoxycytosine was the only incorporated nucleotide opposite deoxyinosine during PCR amplification, irrespective of origin of DNA polymerase.
