"In order to maintain genome integrity, it is essential that any DNA damage is repaired. This is achieved in diverse ways in all cells to ensure their survival. There is a large repertoire of proteins that remove and repair DNA damage. However, sometimes these processes do not function correctly, leading to genome instability, which is known to cause a number of hereditary diseases in humans. DNA Damage: from Causes to Cures features contributions from the invited speakers at the Biochemical Society's Annual Symposium held at Robinson College, Cambridge, on 15-18 December 2008. The featured chapters, written by experts in the field, showcase studies of DNA repair and genome instability, with a particular focus on how research is developing a deeper understanding of the causes and potential cures of DNA damage"--Publisher's description.
