Cancer’s DNA Repair Deficiency Origins Become Clearer

The link between cancer mutations and DNA repair mechanisms has been well established. However, the specific origins of the mutation in these essential pathways have remained enigmatic. Now, researchers at the European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI), the University of Dundee, and the Wellcome Sanger Institute have utilized human and worm data to explore the mutational causes of cancer. Findings from this new study—published today in Genome Research inan article entitled “ Mutati
