Diagram depicting fork reversal and fork restoration. Fork reversal anneals the parental (black) and nascent (silver) DNA strands in a concerted reaction generating a chicken foot structure. Migrating the four-way junction in the opposite direction yields fork restoration. A ssDNA gap is diagramed on the leading strand template in this example.
