Abstract excerpt
Errors made by DNA polymerases contribute to both natural variation and, in extreme cases, genome instability and its associated diseases. Recently, the importance of polymerase misincorporation in disease has been highlighted by the identification of cancer-associated polymerase variants with mutations in the exonuclease domain. A subgroup of these variants have a hypermutation phenotype in tumours, and when...
