Taq polymerases leave a mixture of amplicons with dA and dG
overhangs, not just dA. GC cloning vectors have dC overhangs which
bind to amplicons with dG overhangs. The cloning efficiency using GC
cloning can be >99%. Best of all, there’s no need to change anything
about your PCR in order to use a GC vector from Lucigen.
