Abstract excerpt
Preservation of the structural integrity of DNA in any organism is crucial to its health and survival. Such preservation is achieved by an extraordinary cellular arsenal of damage surveillance and repair functions, many of which are now being defined at the gene and protein levels. Mutants hypersensitive to the killing effects of DNA-damaging agents have been instrumental in helping to identify DNA repair-related...
