InTech. 2011. 582 p.This book is intended for students and scientists working in the field of DNA repair. Select topics in DNA repair are presented here to demonstrate how scientific ideas are developed, tested, dialogued, and matured as it is meant to discuss key concepts in DNA repair. The book should serve as a supplementary text in courses and seminars as well as a general reference for biologists with an interest in DNA repair.ContentsPrefaceDNA Damaging AgentsThe DNA-Damage Response to Ionizing Radiation in Human Lymphocytes
