Taq`` polymerase``` z is a thermostable DNA polymerase named after the thermophilic bacterium ``Thermus aquaticus`` from which it was originally isolated by Thomas D. Brock in 1965. It is often abbreviated to `Taq Pol`` (or simply `Taq`), and is frequently used in polymerase chain reaction (PCR), a method for greatly amplifying short...
