GO Term

Description

GO:0006272

Leading strand elongation, which is continuous as it proceeds in the same direction as the replication fork.

GO:0006273

Lagging strand elongation proceeds by discontinuous synthesis of short stretches of DNA, known as Okazaki fragments, from RNA primers; these fragments are then joined by DNA ligase.

GO:0006289

Nucleotide excision repair recognizes a wide range of substrates, including damage caused by UV irradiation and chemicals.

GO:0006298

The mismatch repair system promotes genomic fidelity by repairing base-base mismatches, insertion-deletion loops and heterologies generated during DNA replication and recombination.

GO:0006303

The repair of a double-strand break in DNA in which the two broken ends are re-joined with little or no sequence complementarity.

GO:0006348

Chromatin silencing at telomere means the repression of transcription of telomere DNA by altering the structure of chromatin.

GO:0007064

Mitotic sister chromatid cohesion. The cell cycle process in which the sister chromatids of a replicated chromosome are joined along the entire length of the chromosome.
