The combined DNA and RNA synthetic capabilities of archaeal DNA primase facilitate primer hand-off to the replicative DNA polymerase

DNA primases initiate a short primer before handing off to DNA polymerases to continue replication. Here the authors reveal a unique ability of archaeal primases to first synthesize RNA before stochastically incorporating a deoxyribonucleotide and further extending the primer as DNA.
