An episomal DNA vector (YpJA18), encoding two selectable recombinant yeast genes (TRP1, URA3), was constructed to assess the fidelity of DNA repair in haploid repair-competent (RAD) wild-type yeast and several radiation-sensitive mutants. Either a DNA double-strand break (DSB) or a double-strand gap
Levels of DNA strand breaks and DNA-protein cross-links (DPCs) were measured using the alkaline elution assay in normal human skin fibroblasts irradiated with 0-200 J m-2 of 254 nm UV radiation and incubated for 0-24 h. On incubation, the yields of both single-strand breaks (SSBs) and DPCs increased
