This study shows that full-length TDG, but not its catalytic domain or MBD4, can excise T and C from undamaged DNA under specific conditions, suggesting a role in futile DNA repair.

The paper proposes that Chargaff's second parity rule underlies additive genetic interactions in quantitative traits, enabling continuous variation and natural selection.

The paper investigates DNA repair and mutagenesis in vertebrate mitochondria, finding evidence for asymmetric DNA strand inheritance leading to strand-specific mutation patterns.
