Name
translesion synthesis
Ontology

Synonyms
bypass DNA synthesis
Alternate IDs
None
Definition
The replication of damaged DNA by synthesis across a lesion in the template strand; a specialized DNA polymerase or replication complex inserts a defined nucleotide across from the lesion which allows DNA synthesis to continue beyond the lesion. This process can be mutagenic depending on the damaged nucleotide and the inserted nucleotide. Source: GOC:vw, GOC:elh, PMID:10535901
