Linked from

The 27 pages that link to DNA damage, each with the reason it gives.

• Ancient DNARelated: Characteristic damage patterns help distinguish ancient molecules from modern contamination.

• MutationRelated: Unrepaired damage can be converted into a mutation during replication.

• Ionizing radiationRelated: Ionizing radiation can damage DNA directly or through reactive chemical species.

• DNA replicationRelated: Lesions encountered during copying can stall replication or cause mutations.

• DNA repairRelated: Repair begins when cellular systems recognize these diverse forms of damage.

• CarcinogenRelated: Many carcinogens initiate cancer by creating mutations or other persistent genetic lesions.

• AgingRelated: Damage accumulates with age when cellular repair does not fully restore genomes.

• ArchaeogeneticsRelated: Characteristic damage patterns help authenticate ancient DNA and estimate its preservation.

• Food irradiationRelated: Radiation-induced DNA damage prevents many microorganisms and insects from reproducing.

• Skin cancerRelated: Accumulated DNA damage can disable growth controls in skin cells.

• Hydroxyl radicalRelated: ·OH can attack DNA bases and the sugar-phosphate backbone.

• MetronidazoleRelated: Activated metronidazole forms reactive products that damage microbial DNA.

• Absorbed doseRelated: Radiation energy deposition can initiate DNA lesions that contribute to cell effects.

• CarcinogenicityRelated: Many carcinogens initiate cancer by creating DNA lesions that escape repair.

• Arsenic poisoningRelated: Arsenic can promote genomic injury and interfere with DNA repair.

• MutagenesisRelated: Many induced mutations begin as lesions that escape accurate repair.

• Radiation-induced cancerRelated: Ionizing tracks create DNA lesions that can persist or be misrepaired.

• RadiotoxicityRelated: Radiation-induced DNA lesions can impair cells or initiate cancer.

• Mustard gasRelated: Mustard-induced alkylation produces lesions that impair cell function and can cause cell death.

• RadiobiologyRelated: Radiation-induced lesions can disrupt replication, repair, or chromosome integrity.

• Ethidium bromideRelated: Ethidium bromide’s mutagenic potential reflects the consequences of disrupting DNA replication.

• ChemosterilantRelated: Genetic damage can prevent treated insects from producing viable offspring.

• Louis Harold GrayRelated: It is a central molecular consequence connecting radiation exposure to cell death and mutation.
