hi guys
A typical TaqMan protocol contains a denaturation step followed by a combined annealing and extension step at 55–60°C, instead of the traditional three-step PCR cycle of denaturation, annealing, and extension. my question is, does combined temperature affects Taq polymerase efficiency? and which Taq polymerase we use for Taqman Real Time assay?

Is it a homework question?
What types of Taq polymerase do you know if you're saying "which Taq"?

Our country has a serious deficiency in lighthouses. I assume the main reason is that we have no sea.

At least, it should have a 5' to 3' exonuclease activity for TaqMan assays. 
The lower temperature will affect the TaqPol, the velocity of extension will be decreased (this is one reason why you should keep real-time PCR products short).

Thank you so much. your post answered my question.
