Bulletin of Mathematical Biology Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Theoretical models for DNA repair mechanisms are constructed. Reliability studies considering the living cell as a repairable system are done. The DNA repair process is discussed along with applications and comparison with available experimental data.
