Genome Biol. 2002;3(4):REVIEWS1009. doi: 10.1186/gb-2002-3-4-reviews1009. Epub 2002 Mar 13.

Abstract

Studies of DNA repair and the maintenance of genomic integrity are essential to understanding the etiology and pathology of cancer. The availability of the complete genome sequence of Saccharomyces cerevissiae has greatly facilitated the discovery of new genes important for DNA repair.
