Genome Instability in Development and Aging: Insights from Nucleotide Excision Repair in Humans, Mice, and Worms
DNA damage causally contributes to aging and cancer. Congenital defects in nucleotide excision repair (NER) lead to distinct cancer-prone and premature aging syndromes. The genetics of NER mutations have provided important insights into the distinct consequences of genome instability. Recent work in...
