Abstract excerpt
Formation of DNA damage is a crucial event in carcinogenesis. Irreparable DNA lesions have the potential to cause mispairing during DNA replication, thereby giving rise to mutations. Critically important mutations in cancer-related genes, i.e., oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes, are key contributors to carcinogenesis. Theoretically, co-localization(s) of persistent DNA lesions and mutational hotspots in...
