Abstract excerpt
To determine the spectrum of effects elicited by specific levels of spontaneous DNA damage, a series of isogenic Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains defective in base excision repair (BER) and nucleotide excision repair (NER) were analyzed. In log phase of growth, when compared with wild type (WT) or NER-defective cells, BER-defective cells and BER/NER-defective cells possess elevated levels of unrepaired,...
