摘要

Did you know there are roughly over 10,000 DNA damages in a cell per day? Do not be too alarmed though, thanks to various vital DNA repair mechanisms we are able to continue function normally as an organism and maintain our genome integrity.It is no wonder then why this year prestigious Chemistry Nobel Prize(s) went to Drs.Thomas Lindahl, Aziz Sancar, and Paul Modrich for their extensive research and breakthrough discoveries on DNA repair mechanisms (http://www.nobelprize.org).
