    Problems and paradigms: Fine tuning of DNA repair in transcribed genes: Mechanisms, prevalence and consequences
    with C. Stephen Downes and Robert T. Johnson
    Bioessays 15 (3): 209-216. 1993.
    Cells fine‐tune their DNA repair, selecting some regions of the genome in preference to others. In the paradigm case, excision of UV‐induced pyrimidine dimers in mammalian cells, repair is concentrated in transcribed genes, especially in the transcribed strand. This is due both to chromatin structure being looser in transcribing domains, allowing more rapid repair, and to repair enzymes being coupled to RNA polymerases stalled at damage sites; possibly other factors are also involved. Some repai…Read more
