Thermostable DNA polymerase

Thermostable DNA polymerases are DNA polymerases that originate from thermophiles, usually bacterial or archaeal species, and are therefore thermostable. They are used for the polymerase chain reaction and related methods for the amplification and modification of DNA. Thermostable DNA polymerases of natural origin are found in thermophilic bacteria, archaea and their pathogens.
