Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic variation in radiation-induced cell death

TL;DR: Human genetic and functional genomic approaches are integrated to study the response of human cells to radiation and uncovered DNA variants that contribute to radiosensitivity and genes that can be targeted to increase the sensitivity of tumors to radiation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Altered patterns of multiple recombinant events are associated with nondisjunction of chromosome 21

TL;DR: Characteristics of maternal chromosomes 21 that exhibited multiple recombinant events on 21q are examined to determine whether additional risk factors or mechanisms are suggested and to better understand mechanisms that may underlie both age-related and nonage-related meiotic chromosome mal-segregation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic Control of Hotspots

TL;DR: The identification of a mammalian gene—PR domain containing 9 (PRDM9)—that controls the extent to which crossovers occur in preferred chromosomal locations, known as “hotspots” is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI

RNA abasic sites in yeast and human cells

TL;DR: The results reveal that, in yeast and human cells, there are RNA abasic sites, and a glycosylase that generates these sites and an AP endonuclease that processes them, suggesting their role in RNA processing.
