NEW VIEWPOINT. "Our appreciation of the DNA transactions that replicate and maintain a stable human genome is changing rapidly due to recent discoveries indicating that eukaryotic cells contain many more DNA polymerases than previously thought.' http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1535610803000278 View in LinkedIn

POLYMERASE TYPES. "DNA polymerases are enzymes that synthesize DNA. These proteins have an essential role in genome duplication, but they are also critical for protecting the cell against the effects of DNA damage. There are fifteen different DNA polymerases encoded in mammalian genomes, which are specialized for replication, repair or the tolerance of DNA damage. New evidence is emerging for lesion-specific and tissue-specific functions of DNA polymerases." https://lnkd.in/e_FVkkp View in LinkedIn

MUTATOR DNA POLYMERASES. "Adaptive point mutation and amplification are induced responses to environmental stress, promoting genetic changes that can enhance survival." (E. Coli). https://lnkd.in/eJ456JB View in LinkedIn

ENDOGENOUS GENOME PROOFREADING. "Cells protect themselves from accidental genome change with proofreading and DNA damage repair systems; localized point mutations result from the action of specialized trans-lesion mutator DNA polymerases." https://lnkd.in/eNNF3BJ View in LinkedIn

SELF-EVALUATION. "The reason checkpoints are so important is that they exemplify at the molecular level the processes of self-evaluation and self-control." http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1113/jphysiol.2014.271130/full View in LinkedIn

DNA DAMAGE CHECKPOINTS. "Critical to the operation of DNA repair systems is the ability cells have to delay progress through the cell cycle until repair is complete. The physiological process of monitoring each task in the cell cycle and controlling the overall cycle so that it remains synchronized is called a ‘checkpoint’." http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1113/jphysiol.2014.271130/full View in LinkedIn

2ND ASSUMPTION. "Considering the upper limit, it is clear that bacteria dominate the planet in terms of the product of the number of cells (10(30)) multiplied by the number of genes in each genome (10(4), a small overestimate)." https://lnkd.in/eyPrQUq View in LinkedIn
