Uracil in duplex DNA is a substrate for the nucleotide incision repair pathway in human cells

Spontaneous hydrolytic deamination of cytosine to uracil (U) in DNA is a constant source of genome instability in cells. This mutagenic process is greatly enhanced at high temperatures and in single-stranded DNA. If not repaired, these uracil residues give rise to C→T transitions, which are the most...
