long PCR for mtDNA - (Jul/03/2001 )

Just buy some of the mixes that various companies sell for this.

They are Taq with a little bit of a proofreading enzyme mixed in, and have names such as Expand or "LA" or "HiFi". Search on a website such as orhttp://www.gibco.com or http://www.roche.com

We usually get all our reagents from Sigma just because they work and the price is right.
