Comparative transcriptomics reveal a novel tardigrade-specific DNA-binding protein induced in response to ionizing radiation
Tardigrades are microscopic animals renowned for their ability to withstand extreme conditions, including high doses of ionizing radiation (IR). To better understand their radio-resistance, we first characterized induction and repair of DNA double- and single-strand breaks after exposure to IR in th...
