Usage Notes

This is a PROCESS term, so use this term for proteins that are shown to be involved in replicating the DNA genome of a virus.

• The DNA genome of the virus could be single-stranded like the bacteriophage phiX174, Parvoviruses, and Nanoviruses or
• The DNA genome of the virus could be double-stranded like the bacteriophages lambda, T4, P1, or viruses like Herpes, or Archaea viruses like Bicaudaviruses.
• It may be possible, depending on the evidence in a scientific article, that you will have to use a less specific term. Consider:
  • DNA-dependent DNA replication

Other suggested terms that might be suitable if you are looking at modes of DNA replication

• If you are looking for MOLECULAR FUNCTION (ACTIVITY) terms that correspond with this process, you might consider starting here:
  • DNA-directed DNA polymerase activity

• If you are looking for CELLULAR COMPONENT (COMPLEX) terms that correspond with this process, you might consider starting here:
  • DNA polymerase complex
  • cytoplasmic replisome
