Abstract excerpt
The Rad9 gene is evolutionarily conserved from yeast to humans and plays crucial roles in genomic maintenance, DNA repair, and cell cycle checkpoint controls. However, the function of this gene with respect to tumorigenesis is not well-understood. A Rad9-null mutation in mice causes embryonic lethality. In this study, we created mice in which mouse Rad9, Mrad9, was deleted only in keratinocytes to permit...
