Difference Between Mismatch Repair and Nucleotide Excision Repair
Key Difference – Mismatch Repair vs Nucleotide Excision Repair
Tens and thousands of DNA damages occur in the cell per day. It induces changes to the cell processes such as replication, transcription as well as the viability of the cell. In some cases, mutations caused by these DNA damages may lead to deleterious diseases like cancers and aging-associated syndromes (ex: Progeria). Regardless of these damages, the cell initiates a highly organized cascade repair mechanism called DNA damage responses.
