What is the error rate for HotMaster Taq polymerase?

The enzyme involves a recombinant Taq DNA polymerase. The HotMaster inhibitor does not influence the fidelity of the enzyme in any way. The error rate of Taq polymerase should therefore be assumed. A number of publications are available: see Hengen PN. Methods and reagents Fidelity of DNA polymerases for PCR. Trends in Biochemical Sciences. 1995; 20 (8): 324-325 or http://micro.nwfsc.noaa.gov/protocols/taq-errors.html.
