NIH-funded research into how RNA-templated DNA repair may help neurons maintain genomic stability and how RNA variation may contribute to neuronal genetic diversity.
Description
The project investigates RNA-templated double-strand break repair and its role in maintaining neuronal genome integrity, identifying the repair machinery, and determining whether RNA variability is transferred to the genome.
