Frontiers of Mutagenesis and DNA Repair

The Chemical Pathology Study Section, Center for Scientific Review, NIH hosted a 1-day workshop in Ventura, California, in the winter of 2003. There were 32 invited participants including invited speakers. The workshop consisted of three sessions and focused on recent developments in our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of mutagenesis and DNA repair, namely, error-prone DNA polymerases, DNA repair models and DNA repair networks.
