Abstract excerpt

The contribution of different repair pathways to the repair of 8-methoxypsoralen (8-MOP) plus UVA induced lesions on a centromeric plasmid (YCp50) was investigated in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae using the lithium acetate transformation method. The pathways of excision-resynthesis (RAD1) an...
