General Information

Term

DNA replication, synthesis of primer

ID (Ontology)

GO:0006269 (Gene Ontology)

Definition

The synthesis of a short nucleotide polymer using one strand of unwound DNA as a template. The product is usually a RNA molecule between 4-15 nucleotides long that provides a free 3'-OH that can be extended by DNA-directed DNA polymerases. In certain conditions, for example in response to DNA damage, some primases synthesize a DNA primer.[ PubMed:11395402 PubMed:38203225 PubMed:38492718 ]
