We bid you adieu, Holly Vickery!
David Lab researcher Holly Vickery is off to graduate school, and the David Lab wishes her farewell. Holly worked on multiple projects as a research scientist in the David Lab. One project was focused on measuring the cellular repair efficiency of MutY variants, while another project revolved around optimizing a purification technique of MUTYH for higher yields […]
New Manuscript Published: Selective base excision repair of DNA damage by the non‐base‐flipping DNA glycosylase AlkC.
New Manuscript Published: Selective base excision repair of DNA damage by the non‐base‐flipping DNA glycosylase AlkC. The preservation of genomic integrity performed by DNA repair machinery is crucial for living organisms, and malfunctions in DNA repair machinery can have far-reaching and devastating effects on a cell’s ability to attain precise DNA replication, properly regulate cell […]
