The overall aim of this book is to give scientists in academia and industry a comprehensive overview of the field of DNA damage and DNA repair and related human diseases.
DNA in living organisms is contantly undergoing damage from a wide range of factors and understanding the mechanisms involved in the detection of DNA damage and its repair provides promising new avenues for disease management. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the interdisciplinary area of DNA damage and repair and their relevance to disease pathology. Edited by recognised leaders in the field, this book is an appealing resource to a variety of readers from geneticists, chemical biologists and cancer researchers to drug discovery scientists with an interest in gene therapy.
