Abstract excerpt
DNA replication is a highly accurate process designed to duplicate the entire genome of a cell during each cell division. The accuracy of DNA replication is derived from the balance between three important components: base selectivity by the replicative DNA polymerases (pols), exonucleolytic proofreading, and post-replicative mismatch repair. Previously we identified a human 3'-5' exonuclease (exoN) whose...
