## Abstract Somatic __APC__ mutations in colorectal tumors with an RER phenotype reflect excessive frameshift mutations, especially in simple repetition tracts within the coding sequence. Because this type of mutation is characteristic of cells with a deficient DNA MMR system, the __APC__ mutation
The OGG1 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae encodes a DNA glycosylase that excises 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8-OxoG). When compared to wild-type, ogg1 mutants show an increase in the frequency of GC to TA transversions, indicating a role for Ogg1 in the repair of 8-OxoG. Here we report an increased fr
