Provided here is an easily accessible introduction to the
mechanisms of DNA replication, regulation and the
biochemistry of cell cycle control. An overview of this
rapidly developing field is presented to orient the reader,
followed by a series of contributions by leading researchers
summarizing recent results on selected topics, such as
protein phosporylation, tumor suppressor genes, and signal
transduction in prokaryotic and eucaryotic systems. The
reader will gain an overview of our current understanding of
DNA replication and the cell cycle, and a selection of
useful recent references for further reading.
