A model for replication of the ends of linear chromosomes
AUTOR(ES)
Heumann, John M.
RESUMO
Linear chromosomes possessing internal repeats of their terminal sequences can form intramolecular crossed-strand exchanges that allow replication of the chromosome ends. Evidence is discussed that such a mechanism may be utilized during replication of herpes simplex virus DNA and during replication of macronuclear DNA from the hypotrichous ciliate Oxytricha.
