Description
DNA Repair and Replication brings together contributions from active researchers. The first part of this book covers most aspects of the DNA damage response, emphasizing the relationship to replication stress. The second part concentrates on the relevance of this to human disease, with particular focus on both the causes and treatments which make use of DNA Damage Repair (DDR) pathways.
Key Selling Features:
- Chapters written by leading researchers
- Includes description of replication processes, causes of damage, and methods of repair
