Abstract excerpt
We have investigated the question whether during chromosomal DNA replication in Escherichia coli the two DNA strands may be replicated with differential accuracy. This possibility of differential replication fidelity arises from the distinct modes of replication in the two strands, one strand (the leading strand) being synthesized continuously, the other (the lagging strand) discontinuously in the form of short...
