Popis: DNA is a foundational tool in biotechnology and synthetic biology but is limited by sensitivity to DNA-modifying enzymes. Recently, researchers have identified DNA polymerases that can enzymatically synthesize long oligonucleotides of modified DNA (M-DNA) that are resistant to DNA-modifying enzymes. Most applications require M-DNA to be reverse transcribed, typically using a RNA reverse transcriptase, back into natural DNA for sequence analysis or further manipulation. Here, we tested commercially available DNA-dependent DNA polymerases for their ability to reverse transcribe and amplify M-DNA in a one-pot reaction. Three of the six polymerases chosen (Phusion, Q5, and Deep Vent) could reverse transcribe and amplify synthetic 2'F M-DNA in a single reaction with5 × 10
