Cleaning up polymerase chain reactions : DNA polymerases are found that copy two additional nucleotide letters (Z and P) in an expanded DNA alphabet to support six‐letter polymerase chain reactions (PCR). Incorporated into external primers in a threefold multiplexed PCR, primers containing Z and P gave much cleaner results than standard multiplexed PCR.
