Abstract excerpt
Genomic instability is often caused by mutations in genes that are involved in DNA repair and/or cell cycle checkpoints, and it plays an important role in tumorigenesis. Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) is a DNA strand break-sensing molecule that is involved in the response to DNA damage and the maintenance of telomere function and genomic stability. We report here that, compared to single-mutant cells, PARP...
