Increased and imbalanced dNTP pools symmetrically promote both leading and lagging strand replication infidelity. by Robert J Buckland, Danielle L Watt, Balasubramanyam Chittoor, Anna Karin Nilsson, Thomas A Kunkel, Andrei Chabes

“…The fidelity of DNA replication requires an appropriate balance of dNTPs, yet the nascent leading and lagging strands of the nuclear genome are primarily synthesized by replicases that differ in subunit composition, protein partnerships and biochemical properties, including fidelity. These facts pose the question of whether imbalanced dNTP pools differentially influence leading and lagging strand replication fidelity. …”
