Nature. 1978 Feb 23;271(5647):713-7. doi: 10.1038/271713a0.

The analysis of the repair of damage to DNA in mammalian cells leads not only to a knowledge of which environmental agents are deleterious to living creatures, but also to an understanding of which reaction products in DNA are potentially carcinogenic and which tissues are the more sensitive.

对哺乳动物细胞中DNA损伤修复的分析，不仅能让我们了解哪些环境因素对生物有害，还能让我们明白DNA中的哪些反应产物可能具有致癌性，以及哪些组织更为敏感。
