It is not always safe to repair DNA Damage. Sometimes, cells "just bypass it". During DNA replication, repair of lesions on DNA can be dangerous. Cells instead "tolerate" DNA damage and focus on finishing replication. Read our review and find out why and how: doi.org/10.1016/j.ti...

The #EMGS is pleased to announce that Dr. Robert W. Sobol has been appointed the new Editor-in-Chief for Environmental and Molecular Mutagenesis. This September, congratulate our new Editor-in-Chief in-person at the 56th Annual Meeting of the EMGS in Rochester, New York!
