DNA repair - 1 Jan 2000
Saini Natalie, Gordenin Dmitry A
Abstract excerpt
Regions of genomic DNA can become single-stranded in the course of normal replication and transcription as well as during DNA repair. Abnormal repair and replication intermediates can contain large stretches of persistent single-stranded DNA, which is extremely vulnerable to DNA damaging agents and hypermutation. Since such single-stranded DNA spans only a fraction of the genome at a given instance, hypermutation...
