Preferred term

DNA repair  

Definition(s)

  • DNA repair refers to the mechanisms by which a cell maintains the integrity of its genetic code. This integrity not only ensures the survival of a species, which requires that parental DNA be inherited as faithfully as possible by the offspring, but it also preserves the health of an individual.
