What is UDG?
UDG (uracil-DNA-glycosylase) refers to a superfamily of enzymes comprising six sub-families. Family I UDG enzymes are called UNG, after the uracil-N-glycosylase gene. The terms UDG and UNG are commonly used interchangeably because they perform the same function in qPCR, namely, to remove Uracil from dU-containing DNA to prevent carryover contamination from previous PCRs.
