Dna Repair Mechanisms: Safeguarding Genetic Integrity
During DNA repair processes, damaged segments of the double helix are detected and repaired, restoring genetic information integrity. Various mechanisms like Base Excision Repair (BER), Nucleotide Excision Repair (NER), Mismatch Repair (MMR), and Double-Strand Break Repair (DSBR) are employed. DSBR specifically focuses on repairing breaks in both DNA strands, utilizing pathways such as Non-Homologous End…
