Abstract excerpt
Preferential repair of pyrimidine dimers in rodent cells is thought to be directly coupled to the RNA transcription machinery. The most compelling evidence for this notion is the finding that excision repair occurs more rapidly in the template strand of DNA of transcribed genes than in the non-template strand. A thorough test of this coupling concept by careful comparison of the rate of repair to the rate of...
