Genomic assay reveals tolerance of DNA damage by both translesion DNA synthesis and homology-dependent repair in mammalian cells.

abstract：:We have used germ-line transformation to dissect the cis regulatory elements responsible for the transcriptional control of an internally marked Drosophila chorion gene (s15-P) during development. A 73-base-pair segment of the proximal 5'-flanking DNA contains sequences essential for the tissue-specific expression and...
