Abstract excerpt
Genetically modified mouse models are a powerful approach to study the relation of a single gene-deletion to processes such as mutagenesis and carcinogenesis. The generation of base excision repair (BER) deficient mouse models has resulted in a re-examination of the cellular defence mechanisms that exist to counteract DNA base damage. This review discusses novel insights into the relation between specific...
