Given the current scenario of the global spread of the novel corona virus disease (COVID-19), life sciences research has come to the forefront. This respiratory disease is caused by the novel SARS-CoV-2 virus. Since there is very little known about the virus, research units across the globes have been trying to understand the genome and proteome of the virus. This could play a vital role in developing vaccines and drugs to combat the infection. Polymerase chain reaction is an important research tool which amplifies target genes using specific enzymes. Taq polymerase is a thermostable enzyme which stay active even at high temperatures such as 95C. Taq stands for Thermus Aquaticus, the organism from which the enzyme has been isolated. The Taq DNA polymerase from Aura Biotech has an enzyme concentration of 5U/l. It is supplied with 10X buffer containing 15 mM MgCl2.
