abstract = "Most forms of the human hereditary disease xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) are due to a defect in nucleotide excision repair of DNA damage in skin cells associated with exposure to sunlight. This discovery by James Cleaver had an important impact on our understanding of nucleotide excision repair in mammals.",

note = "Funding Information: This work exemplifies the excellent biomedical research at our universities, supported by agencies like the Atomic Energy Commission, the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation. Its further growth, however, is being strangled in the budgetary crunch between the President and Congress. It is no consolation that their children will share in paying the price of their neglect.
