Researchers find how cells recognize, repair DNA damage
Updated : 1 year, 5 months ago IST
When cells divide, there is a substantial risk of genetic harm. After all, the cell must repeat its whole genetic material, including billions of genetic letters, before it can divide. This repeatedly produces "reading errors" in the genome. Other factors, including as exposure to sunlight,
