Abstract
The repair of DNA is crucial to the survival of every organism. Organisms have evolved many biochemical pathways for detecting and repairing DNA damage with high fidelity. Failure to repair DNA with high fidelity leads to a high mutation frequency. This in turn is correlated with a high risk of cancer in humans.
