Weizmann Institute scientists discover a molecular security mechanism for keeping mutations in check
Everyone knows mutations ?genetic mistakes in DNA, the material of heredity ?are bad: The more mutations in the cell's DNA, the higher the risk of cancer developing. But in the last few years it has become clear that the very processes that generate mutations, if they take place at a relatively low frequency, can actually protect us from cancer. How does the body know how to keep these processes...Agilent MSD Security ChemStation for GC and GC/MS from Agilent Technologies
