The present disclosure provides compositions, methods, kits, systems and apparatus that are useful for
nucleic acid polymerization. In particular, recombinant polymerases and biologically active fragments thereof are provided that allow for
nucleic acid amplification. In some aspects, the disclosure provides recombinant polymerases that yield lower
systematic error rates and / or improved accuracy, when used in
sequencing by synthesis reactions as compared to a control
polymerase. In one aspect, the disclosure relates to recombinant polymerases useful for
nucleic acid sequencing,
genotyping,
copy number variation analysis, paired-end sequencing and other forms of
genetic analysis. In another aspect, the recombinant polymerases are useful for the amplification of nucleic acid templates during PCR, emPCR, isothermal amplification,
recombinase polymerase amplification, rolling circle amplification, strand displacement amplification and proximity
ligation amplification. In some aspects, the disclosure relates to recombinant polymerases useful for the generation of nucleic acid libraries and / or nucleic acid templates.
