Figure 4. Error specificity of mammalian DNA polymerases within mononucleotide microsatellites.

Figure 4

In vitro replication reactions were performed using the mononucleotide microsatellite templates shown (see Table S2 for frequencies). Bars represent the percentage of deletion (black) versus insertion (grey) errors within each microsatellite. (A). Pol α-primase; (B). Pol η; (C). Pol κ. White dashed line indicates 50% insertion:50% deletion ratio expected for unbiased strand slippage.
