The present application relates to chimeric
DNA polymerases and methods of making the same. The chimeric
DNA polymerases comprise 2-8, e.g., 3, domains or segments derived from different polymerases. The chimeric
DNA polymerases of the present application have improved properties, e.g., superior extension properties, superior DNA
binding properties, superior proofreading activity, superior fidelity, faster amplification speed, superior tolerance to inhibitors, superior long fragment amplification ability, etc.
