Nucleotide excision repair is a DNA repair mechanism. [2] DNA damage occurs constantly because of chemicals (e.g. intercalating agents ), radiation and other mutagens . Three excision repair pathways exist to repair single stranded DNA damage: Nucleotide excision repair (NER), base excision repair (BER), and DNA mismatch repair (MMR).
Base excision repair (BER) is a cellular mechanism, studied in the fields of biochemistry and genetics, that repairs damaged DNA throughout the cell cycle. It is responsible primarily for removing small, non-helix-distorting base lesions from the genome.
A biopsy is a medical test commonly performed by a surgeon, an interventional radiologist, or an interventional cardiologist.The process involves the extraction of sample cells or tissues for examination to determine the presence or extent of a disease.
