β¦ Synopsis
To test the hypothesis that the duration of DNA synthesis is an inverse function of nuclear size or DNA content, the S phase was calculated from PLM analysis for pseudodiploid, tetraploid, and octaploid lines of Chinese hamster cells growing as a monolayer or in suspension. S phase times were found not to be significantly different between polyploid lines and the diploid lines from which they were derived, regardless of the conformation of the nucleus. There is no evidence, therefore, that would implicate t h e nuclear membrane, or nuclear surface aredvolume relationships, in the control of DNA synthesis.

The incorporation of tritiated thymidine and deoxycytidine into DNA of x-irradiated mammalian cells was studied. Both inhibition and stimulation were found due to pool changes rather than to effects on DNA synthesis, indicating that precursor uptake can be a misleading method to measure DNA synthesi
## Abstract DNA damage by agents crosslinking the strands presents a formidable challenge to the cell to repair for survival and to repair accurately for maintenance of genetic information. It appears that repair of DNA crosslinks occurs in a path involving double strand breaks (DSBs) in the DNA. M
The many genetic complementation groups of DNA excision-repair defective mammalian cells indicate the considerable complexity of the excision repair process. The cloning of several repair genes is taking the field a step closer to mechanistic studies of the actions and interactions of repair protein
