I recently went through this protocol and used pfu turbo polymerase. I initially tried PCRing with the taq provided in the truseq kit which I believe is phusion polymerase but I could be wrong. That didn't work and I assumed it was because of the U's. But I guess if you have gotten the normal hotstart Taq to work for previous bisulfite products then that wouldn't be an issue for you.

Bisulphite Sequencing Proof-reading or NOT proof-reading?
I'm in the process of applying bisulphite PCR amplicon sequencing to the Illumina platform and wondered what peoples thoughts were on whether to use a proof-reading enzyme in the PCR that can read through Uracil's on a bisulphite converted template (I have only come across these two that apparently do):
pfu TURBO Cx Hotstart (Stratagene)
Expand High Fidelity PLUS (Roche)
OR
Do I continue with the standard hotstart Taq we use in the lab for most bisulphite PCR applications which we know to work very well and gives good amplification products (also I have achieved a good optimisation of all my amplicons with this standard Taq).
Some people say that - With the read depth provided by GAII and above, the level of fidelity of standard Taq should not have a major impact on your results. While there is a tenancy to use a proof-reading enzyme in all commercial sequence capture protocols.
Please help - any comments would be gratefulTags: None

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...-

Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...-
