Description: Cutting edge reviews by leading researchers illuminate key aspects of DNA repair in mammalian systems and its relationship to human genetic disease and cancer. Major topics include UV and X-Ray repair, repair of chemical damage, recombinational repair, mismatch repair, transcription-repair coupling, and the role of DNA repair in disease prevention. Extensive up-to-date references and rigorous peer-review of each chapter make this volume definitive and bring it to the active frontiers of research.
Review Quotes: ". . .serves as a comprehensive introduction to the eukaryotic repair field. The book will be of particular value to researchers who are newly entering the field, especially molecular biologists who wish to gain a broader historical, biological and medical perspective. . .this book was in high demand by my laboratory as soon as the review copy arrived. By this test, it will be a worthwhile addition to the personal library of investigators with research interests in the area of DNA repair."-The Quarterly review of Biology
