Where this comes from

Abstract

In this issue, Orans et al. (2011) and Tsutakawa et al. (2011) report exciting insights into the molecular principles governing diverse endo- and exonucleolytic cleavage specificities of members of the RAD2/FEN superfamily of nucleases, which have critical roles in DNA replication and maintenance.
