Abstract excerpt
Eukaryotic and prokaryotic genomes are replicated with amazingly high fidelity to assure faithful transmission of genetic information from one generation to the next. The accuracy of replication relies heavily on the ability of replicative DNA polymerases to efficiently select correct nucleotides for the polymerization reaction and excise mistakenly incorporated nucleotides using their intrinsic exonucleases....
