coli bacteria. The first step in the process always sees the double helix “unzipping” into two strands — a “leading strand” and a “lagging strand.” Each of these become a template ...

This distinction represents a key difference between the functions of the leading strand clamp loader (CTF18-RFC) and the lagging strand clamp loader (RFC) and illuminates an important aspect of ...

One moves continuously to produce the new daughter DNA molecule on the leading strand, whereas the other produces a long series of short Okazaki DNA fragments on the lagging strand. Both ...

The findings show that bacterial genes that are located in the lagging strand of replication experience higher mutation rates and faster adaptive evolution. bacterial genes that are located in the ...
