An artistic rendering of the concept of DNA damage and repair. Numerous diseases are linked to or caused by alterations that affect genomic integrity and the ability of cells to function and divide normally. A process called DNA damage response has evolved to repair errors and mutations. Researchers have produced a new map that more fully captures the complexity of that process.
