DNA Strand Break Repair and Human Genetic Disease
1 Sept 2007
Abstract excerpt
Each day tens of thousands of DNA single-strand breaks (SSBs) arise in every cell from the attack of deoxyribose and DNA bases by reactive oxygen species and other electrophilic molecules. DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) also arise, albeit at a much lower frequency, from similar attacks and from the encounter of unrepaired SSBs and possibly other DNA structures by DNA replication forks. DSBs are also created...
