A novel role for ATR/Rad3 in G1 phase

Abstract Checkpoint kinases are important in cellular surveillance pathways that help cells to cope with DNA damage and protect their genomes. In cycling cells, DNA replication is one of the most sensitive processes and therefore all organisms carefully regulate replication initiation and progressio...

description Abstract Checkpoint kinases are important in cellular surveillance pathways that help cells to cope with DNA damage and protect their genomes.
