About this ebook
This book is concerned with the genetic consequences of nu cleotide pool imbalance. There are a number of ways in which this state can be achieved and the majority of papers in this volume de scribe the effects of nucleotide pool imbalance on DNA replication and repair, and the induction of gene mutations in various organisms. This book grew out of a Conference on "Genetic Consequences of Nu cleotide Pool Imbalance" which was held at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences on May 9-11, 1983. The Organizing Com mittee consisted of Drs. Diana Anderson (BIBRA), Robert Haynes (York University), Bernard Kunz (NIEHS), Barry Glickman (NIEHS), and Frederick J. de Serres (NIEHS), Chairman. The meeting was org- ized by the staff of the Office of the Associate Director for Genetics and was financed solely by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences.
