DNA damage tolerance in mammalian cells

DNA is susceptible to both exogenous and endogenous damaging agents. Damage is constantly reversed by a wide range of DNA repair pathways. Lesions which escape such repair may cause nucleotide mis-pairing and stalled replication, resulting in mutagenesis and cell death, respectively if left unresolv...
