Base Excision Repair

Base Excision Repair is a DNA repair pathway that belongs to the class of excision repair mechanisms and is specifically characterized by the removal of small, non-helix-distorting base lesions through the action of DNA glycosylases, followed by cleavage of the resulting abasic site and resynthesis of the correct nucleotide sequence.
