Dear WormBook reader,

Replication and repair by Ann Rose has just been added to the Molecular biology section of WormBook. This chapter updates and greatly expands the 2006 chapter DNA repair by Nigel O’Neil and Ann Rose. Over the past few years there has been an explosion of research using C. elegans to study many aspects of DNA repair and the updated chapter points to several recently published reviews. The new chapter summarizes those reviews and highlights the use of C. elegans in the study of the Fanconi Anemia (FA) repair pathway.

Please proceed to read this chapter and others on nematode biology at http://www.wormbook.org/. If you have any comments or suggestions, please submit them via the Feedback page on wormbook.org.

Thank you for your interest in WormBook.

Jane
