Abstract
The recent discovery of many new mammalian DNA polymerases has left researchers trying to assign their biological functions. Surprising evidence has just emerged indicating that DNA polymerase 
, an enzyme implicated in the bypass of replication blocks, has a role in gap-filling synthesis during nucleotide excision repair (NER) of DNA adducts.
