DNA Repair Mechanisms

This cluster of papers focuses on the molecular mechanisms of the DNA damage response, including DNA repair pathways, genomic instability, the role of ATM and ATR kinases, homologous recombination, cell cycle checkpoints, and their implications in cancer biology. It also explores the involvement of histone H2AX and chromatin in maintaining genome stability.

122,619 works

Papers listed on taxonomy pages are the top few works per node from the OpenAlex snapshot. That list is not exhaustive and is not an endorsement. The topic map and the journal registry remain separate: there is still no authoritative topic-to-venue or topic-to-organization edge. Search is a lexical lookup, not a claim that a venue publishes a topic.
