10、les.12How to overcome these problemsOver the years, different approaches have been used to overcome the problems caused by secondary structure.Hot-start Taq polymerases have been especially designed to function only after an extended initial denaturing step at high temperature. The specificity(特异性特异

11、性) of these polymerases is higher than that of standard Taq polymerases. 13To overcome the problem of DNA sequence compressions, the template can be denatured using either sodium hydroxide(NaOH) or the nucleotide analogs deoxyinositol triphosphate (dITP脱氧黄嘌呤脱氧黄嘌呤), and 7-deaza GTP(7-脱氮脱氮-2-脱氧脱氧鸟苷鸟苷-
