DNA is under a variety of assaults. As a result, different damages accumulate on DNA. These include base changes, single-strand breaks and double-strand breaks. In this volume and also briefly in the following volume, we discuss DNA damage and double-strand breaks. In particular, we focus on double-strand breaks. We discuss types of double-strand breaks as well as methods to detect them. We also discuss how DNA breaks are formed.
DNA 受到多种攻击。结果,DNA 上会累积不同的损伤。这些损伤包括碱基改变、单链断裂和双链断裂。在这一卷中,以及在下一卷中也会简要讨论,我们讨论 DNA 损伤和双链断裂。特别是,我们重点关注双链断裂。我们讨论双链断裂的类型以及检测它们的方法。我们还讨论了 DNA 断裂是如何形成的。
