Featuring more than 10,000 references and a text lavishly complemented by over 700 illustrations, DNA Repair and Mutagenesis, 2nd Edition is a timely update to the original edition published in 1995.
An essential resource for all scientists researching cellular responses to DNA damage. * Introduces important new material reflective of the major changes and developments that have occurred in the field over the last decade. * Discussed the field within a strong historical framework, and all aspects of biological responses to DNA damage are detailed. * Provides information on covering sources and consequences of DNA damage; correcting altered bases in DNA: DNA repair; DNA damage tolerance and mutagenesis; regulatory responses to DNA damage in eukaryotes; and disease states associated with defective biological responses to DNA damage.


This title is published by the American Society for Microbiology Press and distributed by Taylor and Francis in rest of world territories.
