- Description
Summary from GEO: "During genome replication, the leading strand DNA polymerase conducts continuous synthesis over long stretches of DNA within each replicon. Processive DNA synthesis supports symmetric progression of sister replication forks and efficient genome duplication. To address the mechanisms underlying leading strand polymerase-mediated synthesis, we examine one of its conserved domains,...

- Description
Summary from GEO: "DNA polymerase epsilon (Pol epsilon) plays multiple roles in genome duplication and its catalytic subunit POLE suppresses tumorigenesis in humans. Despite its importance, we have limited understanding of Pol epsilon functional mechanisms and how its loss-of-function affects the evolution of cancer genomes. To address this issue, we used the budding yeast ortholog Pol2 to model...
