Abstract excerpt
Cells of all living organisms have evolved complex mechanisms to maintain genome stability. There is increasing evidence that spontaneous genomic instability occurs primarily during DNA replication. RecQ DNA helicases function during DNA replication and are essential for the maintenance of genome stability. In human cells, there exist five RecQ DNA helicases, and mutations of three of these helicases, encoded by...
