Hierarchy of lesion processing governs the repair, double-strand break formation and mutability of three-lesion clustered DNA damage.
Ionising radiation induces clustered DNA damage sites which pose a severe challenge to the cell's repair machinery, particularly base excision repair. To date, most studies have focussed on two-lesion clusters. We have designed synthetic oligonucleotides to give a variety of three-lesion cluste...
