β¦ Synopsis
Chromatin is a highly dynamic structure that acts alternately as a substrate and a template in a number of critical biological processes. Modification of chromatin is pertinent and is responsible for a number of nuclear processes, including DNA repair, replication, transcription, and recombination. The purpose of this review is to discuss specific interactions between chromatin remodeling, DNA repair, and transcription. These areas are demonstrated to share commonality, particularly with a number of key molecules that appear to have roles in a number of pathways. The implications of pathway cross-over and communication form a seamless continuation of genomic integrity and stability.

## Abstract The primary role of mismatch repair (MMR) is to maintain genomic stability by removing replication errors from DNA. This repair pathway was originally implicated in human cancer through an association between microsatellite instability in colorectal tumors in hereditary nonpolyposis col
