Mammalian DNA replication: mutation biases and the mutation rate.

Abstract excerpt

Experimental studies have shown that the fidelity of DNA replication can be affected by the concentrations of free deoxyribonucleotides present in the cell. Replication of mammalian chromosomes is achieved using pools of newly-synthesized deoxyribonucleotides which fluctuate during the cell cycle. Since regions of mammalian chromosomes are replicated sequentially, there is the potential for differences among...
