Abstract excerpt
UV-induced cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPD) are selectively removed from the transcribed strand of transcriptionally active genes in V79 Chinese hamster cells. This strand specificity of repair corresponds well with the observation that UV-induced mutations in the HPRT gene are primarily gener...
