Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is a major conserved DNA repair pathway, which repairs various types of damage in the genome, such as those induced by ultraviolet light and environmental agents.

Scientists have tapped into the Summit supercomputer to study an elaborate molecular pathway called nucleotide excision repair (NER). This research reveals how damaged strands of DNA are repaired ...

The NER pathway recognizes and removes a wide range of DNA damages induced by ultraviolet (UV), tobacco, alkylating agents or DNA crosslinks. Depending on the location of the DNA damage two distinct ...

Sunburns and aging skin are obvious effects of exposure to harmful UV rays, tobacco smoke and other carcinogens. But the effects aren't just skin deep. Inside the body, DNA is literally being torn ...
