Abstract excerpt

We have measured repair of both of the major lesions induced by ultraviolet irradiation (cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers and 6-4 photoproducts) in wild-type Schizosaccharomyces pombe and in selected rad mutants, including mutants with deletions in genes from the main phenotypic groups. We find that...
