  "id": "MLC-T-ENV-008355",
  "term": "DNA Replication Proofreading",
  "field": "Environment",
  "definition": "A function of the mismatch repair (MMR) system that promotes genomic fidelity by repairing base-base mismatches, insertion-deletion loops and heterologies generated during DNA replication. This function is critically dependent on the assembly of multimeric complexes involved in mismatch recognition and signal transduction to downstream repair events.",
