Prolonged persistence of mutagenic DNA lesions in stem cells
2023-11-23
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>DNA suffers continual damage leaving a cell with thousands of individual DNA lesions at any given moment<sup>1–3</sup>. The efficiency of DNA repair means that most known classes of lesion have a half-life of minutes to hours<sup>3,4</sup>, but whether some DNA damage can persist for longer durations remains unknown. Here, using high-resolution phylogenetic trees from 89 donors, we iden...
