Fig. 1. DNA lesions and their repair by the four major DNA repair pathways in higher eukaryotes.

Fig. 1

Cells have multiple DNA repair pathways that provide the capacity to repair many different types of DNA lesions. The figure provides an overview of DNA damaging agents, the lesions they cause and the four main pathways responsible for removing and repairing the DNA lesions.
