Synopsis

The processes of DNA repair and recombination are currently of widespread interest. This book, which arises from a Royal Society discussion meeting, presents an authoritative and very comprehensive overview of the subject by the leading researchers in the field. Key topics discussed include initiation, control and detailed mechanism of homologous recombination, V(D)J recombination and site-specific recombination, regulation and mechanisms of gene amplification and the role of nucleotide excision repair proteins in repairing DNA damage.

From the Back Cover

In this book, which was generated from a Royal Society discussion meeting, leading international researchers provide a current and authoritative account of all aspects of DNA repair and recombination, from bacteria to humans. It is a timely volume, particularly in view of the revelation that the biochemical pathways of repair and recombination in prokaryotes and lower eukaryotes have been conserved in human cells. There is now much exciting research into understanding the molecular mechanisms of repair and recombination in higher eukaryotes.
