### Reverse-transcriptases tolerate terminal mismatches
- - Reported by [[Mizuno et al., 1999|biblio/9973624]].
+ - HIV-1 RT can extend A-mismatches with various efficiencies: A:C >> A:A > A:G
+ ([[Perrino and coll., 1898|biblio/2479023]]).
+ - Reported by [[Mizuno et al., 1999|biblio/9973624]] for double-mismatches and MMLV.
- Utilised in [[Arnaud et al., 2016|biblio/27071605]] to reduce priming or
ribosomal or hemoglobin RNA.
- Specificity of RT nevertheless increases with reaction temperature. For
