DNA repair: Polymerases for passing lesions.
Replicative DNA polymerases generally cannot pass lesions in the template strand. Now there is accumulating evidence for the widespread existence of a separate class of DNA polymerases that can carry out translesion synthesis in both mutagenic and error-free ways.
