I am also amplifying sequences using tagged primers and my advise would be to
take Tm of the matching sequences to optimize your amplification protocol! I
usually use standard buffer and up too 800bp 40"/95°-20"/(Tm-2°)-40"/72° for 33
cycles (1U Taq/50µl) is sufficient ( I would also recommend to mix 1/20 unit
of Deep Vent Polymerase to your NON-proofreading Polymerase-!) further
optimization if there is no product : add 4% DMSO to your RXN or 30mM TMAC
(Tetramethylaammonium.Cl, use 1.5M stock) or combine both enhancers!
(send me your results - would give you further assistance)
