has part DNA replication, synthesis of primer DNA strand elongation involved in DNA replication lagging strand elongation https://github.com/geneontology/go-ontology/issues/12633 GO:0006273 The process in which an existing DNA strand is extended in a net 3' to 5' direction by activities including the addition of nucleotides to the 3' end of the strand, complementary to an existing template, as part of DNA replication. Lagging strand DNA elongation proceeds by discontinuous synthesis of short stretches of DNA, known as Okazaki fragments, from RNA primers; these fragments are then joined by DNA ligase. Although each segment of nascent DNA is synthesized in the 5' to 3' direction, the overall direction of lagging strand synthesis is 3' to 5', mirroring the progress of the replication fork. biological_process DNA replication, removal of RNA primer
