Common causes and repair mechanisms of DNA damage in eukaryotes. Several DNA damaging agents may lead to different types of DNA lesions. Each can be corrected by a particular genome repair mechanism, including mismatch repair, base-excision repair, homologous recombination repair, non-homologous end-joining, nucleotide excision repair, or direct damage reversal.
