Checkpoints: it takes more than time to heal some wounds

Curr Biol. 2000 Dec;10(24):R908-11. doi: 10.1016/s0960-9822(00)00849-6.

Abstract

The S-phase DNA damage checkpoint seems to provide a twist on the checkpoint theme. Instead of delaying replication and allowing repair as a consequence, it may activate repair and delay replication as a consequence.
