Fidelity of DNA polymerases relative to Taq DNA polymerase. The fidelity of DNA polymerases relative to Taq fidelity was calculated by dividing the [error rate]Taq by the [error rate]DNAP. The error rates of E. coli DNA polymerase III holoenzyme (HE) (Pham et al. 1998) and yeast polε and polδ (Shcherbakova et al. 2003) were from previous studies. A dotted line represents fidelity equal to Taq DNA polymerase. Values above the line have higher fidelity than Taq while values below the line have lower fidelity
