Description:
DNA polymerase lambda is a member of the X family of polymerases that is implicated in non-homologous end-joining of double-strand breaks in DNA and in base excision repair of DNA damage. To better understand the roles of DNA polymerase lambda in these repair pathways, here we review its structure and biochemical properties, with emphasis on its gap-filling polymerization activity, its dRP lyase activity and its unusual DNA synthetic (in)fidelity.

great help.......2007-06-13
we took it with us, and it did provide a lot of good info
Maps & Prices need serious attention.......2007-04-23
Although this book was published in 2006, many of the prices are out of date and at least 2 euro off. Also, the maps are not accurate. My husband and I spent lots of time searching for items listed and could never find them. After the first day, we carried another map with us and consulted it instead of the maps in the book. Also, be careful with the maps printed in the book, as most of them are not pointing north. We got turned around in many of the walking tours by accidentally turning the wrong way because of the map's orientation. Also, we tried to eat at a couple of the restaurants listed in the book. One was no where to be found, not even the street listed, and two more that we had hoped to eat at were supposed to be open and were not. We will NEVER buy another Frommer's guidebook.
Effortless Instant Vacation Planner.......2006-11-11
Unless you want to hire a tour guide or you have a friend who lives in Rome to take you around this is your best bet. Short and to the point reviews and info on all the things you want to see in Rome. Some of the prices in the book are already out of date. The Leonardo Express train to and from the airport now costs 11 Euros, not 9.50. The map that is included is good enough but lacks some detail. It would be nice if the map included little icons of the more popular sites for ease of reading. That said your hotel will probably have a tourist map for you for free. Using this book I put together an intinerary that was good for me in about an hour.

Frommers Guide To Rome is a Must Have.......2005-08-24
I found the 36 pages of restaurant review invaluable, especially with the pricing guides and hours of opening and if booking in advance was necessary. The self-walk tours was also very helpful as we did not want to go on large guided tours. The section at the start on what you must and must not bring, what precautions to take, was also invaluable. I was pleased to get such a large map to do my planning, but disappointed that none of the major sights was displayed boldly so that I could see how to link up a certain few within a given day. Nor were any of the recommended restaurants marked on the map. It was a book essential to planning and plotting my trip, but the map was too big to bring and unfold in the middle of a busy street. I thought the shopping section very disappointing. It was all where to avoid, or make do with people-watching, on the grounds of extremely expensive, but no tips on where else one should try - except the early morning markets. It would have benefitted from more photos, even small black and white ones, as many of the recommended sights are not signposted in Rome, or else only in Italian. However, it was an absolute must have and gave me many insights and opportunities that I would not have found in other books claiming to be as good. I know that the next city I vist, whatever it may be, I will immediately get the Frommer's guide (to that city) without even looking for others. Finally, a few common phrases in Italian would have helped.
Well satisfied.......2005-07-05
I purchased this in preparation for our upcoming trip to Rome. Upon review, it is exactly what we need.
Not the book to use.......2005-04-01
I bought this book about two weeks before I visited Rome and used it and its associated map as my guide through Rome over Easter weekend. I found the book and the map pretty difficult to use. Many major attractions in the book are not noted on the map, and many street names are missing from the map. It took me an inordinate amount of time just to figure out where the catacombs really were. Further, there are beautiful descriptions of things to see, but no pictures. That's a problem if you want to get an idea of what something looks like before you decide to invest the time in your itinerary to go see it. Further, in a city that has very few signs describing its buildings and sites (or the signs are in Italian only) you really need a book with pictures just to identify what you are looking at at times. This book is not good at that. The itineraries were sometimes confusing and conflicting. There is a section on an itinerary if you have one day which takes you through ancient Rome, then in a different section of the book the ancient Rome itinerary starts at a different location. If you really are new to a city, you probably want to rely on the book to suggest a good itinerary, not offer confusing and conflicting options. The book tended to jump around a lot. What I mean is, within a paragraph it would describe nice things to see which were nowhere near each other in the city. Overall, I was pretty frustrated with this book. Of the hundreds of tourists carrying guide books around the city that weekend, I didn't notice anyone with this book. It just seems you have to invest too much time trying to figure out the best use of your time (I spent several hours reading the book in preparation for the trip.) I think the biggest shortcoming is the lack of pictures.
Reliable.......2005-03-18
Very strong on hotel reviews (25 pages), restaurant reviews (36 pages), plus the Frommer Best Bets for both categories. Maybe a little weak on the description of the sightseeing places of interest, being perhaps too brief sometimes, but the walking tours are very good, the shopping lists and traveler's facts are very solid and reliable.
Very good pre trip book for hotel listings and walking tour ideas, not necessarily the book to carry with you in the street.
Not for independent travellers.......2005-02-15
I have just returned from my second trip to Rome, and I used this book as my primary travel guide. I have also used this series in other cities. Compared to other series, the Frommer's guides stand out in that they focus more on hotel and restaurant recommendations than on historical or practical information.
With that in mind, the restaurant options in this edition seemed to be limited only to locations off major squares or else near the train station, offering very little off the beaten track or for budget travellers.
The information provided for the attractions, such as the museums and ruins, etc. was accurate, although very basic: hours and prices but little historical information. Sometimes the guide would direct one's attention to a particular column or square, but neglect to explain its significance. The recommended restaurants were good, but there was more missing than was included. A guide claiming to offer information on "what's worth your time and what's not" did very little to justify the exclusions... and the fact that several of the recommended restaurants and attractions didn't appear on any of the included maps doesn't support the recommendation at all!
Overall, the maps need to be more complete, to consistently reflect the textual content of the book. Furthermore, it seems suspicious for a guide with so very few included recommendations to have some that were across the street from each other, suggesting very lazy rather than comprehensive coverage of what the city has to offer. Moreover, the photographs on the cover were stock photographs, having nothing to do with any actual experiences of the writers, whose recent actual trip to Rome can only be the object of assumption.
Also, some travellers may find it difficult to trust a guide which includes advertisements for web-based hotel finding agencies.
I would recommend this book for anyone with more money than taste, or who is more interested in getting his or her passport stamped than in becoming educated about Rome, then or now. Just so you know: There's plenty of shopping on Via Corso.

Like being taken around by a savvy local.......2007-03-28
I found it witty, informative and interesting. combining enough humor to keep you alert and enough information to satisfy your itinerary hunger I thought this was a great guide book for price and size! outfitted with conversions and maps the irreverent guide is one id suggest to anyone, even if they were only looking to brush up on most things roman!
Excelent for Americans .......2005-10-19
Books has great tips and using it along with a more "traditional" guide is a great combination !
Particulary good on the restaurant tips.
A litle "too" focused on americans visiting Italy but ok.
Trustworthy Advice and Spry Wit.......2004-05-06
This guidebook is great! Other guides will tell you what Italy is like. This one tells you what you'll like (or try to skip)about Italy. It's indispensible for American travelers who want the dish and don't want to waste their time visiting cheesy places and tourist traps. The author's views were refreshingly candid, humorous and knowledgeable.
An indispensable travel companion.......2004-05-05
Apparently, the five years the author spent living in Rome gave her the perfect combination of local savvy without losing her American "sensibilities". Using this book is like going to visit your ex-pat best friend, who will ensure that your trip to Rome is the most memorable (and authentic) leg of your European tour.
A great read!.......2004-05-05
Ms Hogg's book is an invaluable reference on Rome, and it's a great read! I highly recommend it to anyone--the world traveler as well as the armchair adventurer--who wants a funny and smart book.

The coolest flip-book on ancient Rome.......2003-05-18
When I was in Rome I kept looking for something like this book.
Most of the ones I found in english were really disappointing.
The good ones were all too big, way too expensive, and often in Italian. Finaly a good one at a reasonable price, and available here!

A Must Have!.......2001-01-18
This past October, two friends and I went to Italy for 2 1/2 weeks. Although we used many other books, Frommers was our bible! It helped us find wonderful places to stay, great information about attractions and great places to eat. It even helped salvage our stay in Venice by suggesting a wonderful non-touristy restaurant. We traveled from Rome through Tuscany (Siena, Assisi, Florence, Pisa) to Venice. Frommers helped make it a managable and thoroughly wonderful vacation!
A Complete Guide for Jubilee Year 2000.......2000-07-17
There is hardly anything I wanted to know about that couldn't be found in Frommer's latest travel book on Rome. With events, and travel notes updated to accompany this Jubilee Year, you will not feel left in the dark. Especially helpful are the listings of many restaurants, hotels, travel guides/tours, rentals, etc. according to whichever budget you choose, and whatever part of Rome you plan to be in.
