Abstract excerpt
Cells of all living organisms are continuously exposed to physical and chemical agents that damage DNA and alter the integrity of their genomes. Despite the relatively high efficiency of the different repair pathways, some lesions remain in DNA when it is replicated or transcribed. Lesion bypass by DNA and RNA polymerases has been the subject of numerous investigations. However, knowledge of the in vivo mechanism...
