Disclosed are DNA polymerases having improved ability to incorporate methylated-dNTPs, relative to a corresponding, unmodified polymerase. The polymerases are useful in a variety of disclosed primer extension methods. Also disclosed are related compositions, including recombinant nucleic acids, vectors, and host cells, which are useful, e.g., for production of the DNA polymerases. Further disclosed are kits and reaction mixtures comprising the improved DNA polymerases as well as methods of primer extension using the improved DNA polymerases. |
