Abstract excerpt
This review discusses recent insights in the roles of DNA polymerases (Pol) delta and epsilon in eukaryotic DNA replication. A growing body of evidence specifies Pol epsilon as the leading strand DNA polymerase and Pol delta as the lagging strand polymerase during undisturbed DNA replication. New evidence supporting this model comes from the use of polymerase mutants that show an asymmetric mutator phenotype for...
