Claims (38)

1. A polymerase comprising an amino acid sequence that is at least 85% identical to SEQ ID NO: 1; comprising a proline, tryptophan, phenylalanine, tyrosine, alanine, or glycine at an amino acid position corresponding to position 216 of SEQ ID NO:1.

2. The polymerase of claim 1 , comprising a proline at amino acid position corresponding to position 216.

3. A polymerase comprising an amino acid sequence that is at least 85% identical to SEQ ID NO: 1; comprising an amino acid substitution, wherein said amino acid substitution comprises: D34E, F47I, P87S, I93N, I119V, K131E, K132E, K135E, I179F, S192C, F198L, T203S, L216P, D219N, T231I, E239G, S260N, K311R, A324T, Y343C, K366R, I378V, L381Q, A394V, G401V, G417R, W436R, A444V, A447T, L462I, H485L, E486V, S487C, Y500F, K536E, K539E, R552Q, V565M, L567M, S578G, or G579S.

4. A method of incorporating a nucleotide into a nucleic acid sequence comprising combining in a reaction vessel: (i) a nucleic acid template, (ii) a nucleotide solution comprising a plurality of nucleotides, and (iii) a polymerase, wherein the polymerase is the polymerase of claim 1 .

5. A method of amplifying a nucleic acid sequence, said method comprising:
