Abstract excerpt
Translesion DNA synthesis (TLS) and homologous DNA recombination (HR) are two major pathways that account for survival after post-replicational DNA damage. TLS functions by filling gaps on a daughter strand that remain after DNA replication caused by damage on the mother strand, while HR can repair gaps and breaks using the intact sister chromatid as a template. The RAD18 gene, which is conserved from lower...
