DNA damage bypass allows cells to evade lesions that stall replicative polymerases. During translesion synthesis, the replicative polymerase is replaced by a specialized translesion polymerase that can replicate past the lesion. In template switching, the replisome bypasses the lesion by temporarily replicating the nascent strand of a sister chromatid.
