-	Taq DNA polymerase (pronounced "tack"; often just abbreviated as Taq polymerase) is a heat stable DNA polymerase that retains functionailty even after repeated heating and cooling cycles used during the polymerase chain reaction. Standard enzymes will typically denature an lose activity after repeated heating and cooling.	+	Taq DNA polymerase (pronounced "tack"; often just abbreviated as Taq polymerase) is a heat stable DNA polymerase that retains functionailty even after repeated heating and cooling cycles used during the polymerase chain reaction.

It is isolated from the bacterium //Thermus aquaticus//, which is found in high temperature deep sea thermal vents.
