Abstract excerpt
The repair of point mutations can be directed by modified single-stranded DNA oligonucleotides and regulated by cellular activities including homologous recombination, mismatch repair and transcription. Now, we report that DNA replication modulates the gene repair process by influencing the frequency with which either DNA strand is corrected. An SV40-virus-based system was used to investigate the role of DNA...
