What Are DNA Repair Mechanisms?
What Are DNA Repair Mechanisms? At least five major DNA repair pathways—base excision repair (BER), nucleotide excision repair (NER), mismatch repair (MMR), homologous recombination (HR) and non-homologous end joining (NHEJ)—are active throughout different stages of the cell cycle, allowing the cells to repair the DNA damage. What is the most common mechanism for repairing damage
