Abstract
Recent years have witnessed considerable progress in the definition of the preferential repair of actively transcribed genes. Equally impressive progress has been achieved in our understanding of the genetic and biochemical complexity of the DNA-repair process called nucleotide excision repair (NER). Most recently studies in several laboratories have yielded observations which provide insights about how the processes of transcription and NER may be linked in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
