Current knowledge of the formation and repair of DNA double-strand breaks
Description
The types of double-strand breaks in DNA are described, and information on the number produced by X-rays and on the repair of such breaks is summarized. From the current concepts of molecular biology, it is difficult to see how DNA with random double-strand breaks could be replicated. Thus the repair of these breaks is of the greatest importance for the survival of the ability of a cell to self-duplicate, and perhaps for other cell functions
