DNA polymerases at the replication fork in eukaryotes

Mol Cell. 2008 May 9;30(3):259-60. doi: 10.1016/j.molcel.2008.04.011.

Abstract

The Kunkel laboratory has recently assigned polymerase (Pol) epsilon as the leading strand polymerase. In a recent issue of Molecular Cell, they now assign Pol delta as the lagging strand polymerase.
