Provide a review of the literature that either supports or refutes (or both) the relatively new theory in the DNA replication community that leading strand synthesis in at least prokaryotes is discontinuous. The review should:

Present the results that support or refute the discontinuous nature of replication, as well as a discussion of the potential causes of such discontinuity. The article can focus on this topic in prokaryotes. However, if you would like to explore eukaryotic DNA replication, you may.
Synthesize the results from relevant primary literature, and also include your own views and perspectives.
Include a short commentary to conclude the review that includes conceptual suggestions for future experiments/research that is needed to address this open question.
