Deskripsi

DNA polymerases δ and ε (Pols δ and ε) are thought to be responsible for lagging and leading strand synthesis, respectively. Here the authors present evidence that Pol δ contributes to the initiation of leading strand replication in budding yeast by synthesizing DNA of both strands at replication origins.
