Abstract: 8\n9\nScope of the Thesis\nScope of the Thesis\nThe abundance of DNA damaging agents poses a constant threat for genome stability. Therefore, cells have\nevolved multiple mechanisms to repair their DNA. The variety in possible DNA lesions that can occur\nrequire specified repair mechanism with the ability to remove particular types of lesions. For example,\nnucleotide excision repair removes lesions generated by UV-light whereas homologous recombination\nrepairs DNA double-stranded breaks induced by ionising radiation. However, the same type of DNA lesion\ncan be
