DNA polymerase α (RNA primase) error rate

Value	1e-4 N/A
Organism	Eukaryotes
Reference	Kunkel TA. Evolving views of DNA replication (in)fidelity. Cold Spring Harb Symp Quant Biol. 2009 74: 91-101 p. 93 fig.2 Figure link - link PubMed ID19903750
Comments	High nucleotide selectivity at the polymerase active site is illustrated by the relatively low base substitution and indel error rates (~10^–4) of polymerase a, which naturally lacks proofreading activity.
