DNA Repair Interest Group

The DNA Repair Interest Group is concerned with all forms of DNA damage and repair. As a major defense against environmental damage to cells DNA repair is ________________________________________________________________________

More information is available about DNA Repair on our "What is DNA Repair?" page.

The booklet "Understanding Xeroderma Pigmentosum" prepared by the National Institutes of Health is now available on the internet. This booklet provides information about XP written in plain English. It may be useful for patients, their families, educators, students, health professionals, media inquiries and others interested in learning more about XP. Like all NIH publications, this booklet is not copyrighted and can be copied freely without obtaining permission.

NOTE: Job Notices and Events listings are frequently updated! - look for them in the Special Items section.

Version V of the on-line version of the DNA repair mouse mutant database maintained at University of Texas Southwestern Medical School is now posted at http://pathcuric1.swmed.edu/Research/research.htm "Mouse DNA Repair Database"

HUMAN DNA REPAIR GENES IN THE GENOME!
More than 100 human DNA repair and related genes are described in the Feb. 16, 2001 issue of Science (291, pp. 1284-1289). This issue can be viewed online. "Science - DNA Repair"

An online Table with links to Gene Cards and NCBI gives ready access to a huge amount of information on 127 DNA repair and related genes and their protein products. The most recent version of the table is available at: "DNA Repair genes - Table" This table was updated on Aug,2007

DNA REPAIR GENE WEBSITES
The Environmental Genome project "Environmental Genome project" of NIEHS has resequenced many genes from 90 donors.

As part of this project a website run by the Univ of Utah has a list of SNP's in 96 human DNA repair genes: "DNA Repair Gene SNP's"

XERODERMA PIGMENTOSUM AND COCKAYNE SYNDROME HUMAN MUTATION DATABASE WEBSITE
A new web-site is now open listing most currently known mutations in the xeroderma pigmentosum and Cockayne syndrome genes. This contains brief summaries of DNA repair, the individual genes, a map of mutations, and a searchable database for each mutation and cell line in the open literature. See this at http://xpmutations.org "XP and CS Human Mutations Database"

The Human Gene Mutantion Database at the Institute of Medical Genetics in Cardiff also lists DNA Repair Gene mutations at http://www.hgmd.cf.ac.uk/hgmd0.html "Human Gene Mutation Database"
