Abstract excerpt

The repair of ionising-radiation-induced DNA double-strand break type damage was measured by Kohn neutral elution in an X-ray-sensitive mutant of V79-4, irs1. This was done in order to investigate further the likelihood that irs1 carries a defect which leads to error-prone repair of DNA damage, a...
