  1. aThe maximum number of added residues after 4 h (Taq polymerase) or 3 h (Vent (exo-) and Deep Vent (exo-) polymerases) of the PEX reaction.
  2. bThe timescale of the standard PEX experiment that yielded products with ≥ 20 added residues or produced the most final products observed at the maximum exposure time.
