Eukaryotic DNA Replication

A cell's ability to control replication of its DNA is fundamental to its normal development or transformation into a cancerous state. DNA replication is also a crucial step in the cell cycle, and recent improvements in understanding cell cycle control have raised the subject's interest levels.

A cell's ability to control replication of its DNA is fundamental to its normal development or transformation into a cancerous state. DNA replication is also a crucial step in the cell cycle, and recent improvements in our understanding of cell cycle control have promoted a fresh surge of interest in the subject. This book begins with reviews of the molecular and genetic components of the replication machinery, and builds up a picture of how the replication process is regulated within the cell division cycle. This book is intended for postgraduate students, postdoctoral researchers, advanced undergraduates, and academic staff.
