Genome stability refers to the maintenance of the genetic information within an organism's DNA over time. It is crucial for the proper functioning and survival of cells and organisms. Researchers studying genome stability focus on understanding the mechanisms that protect the genome from damage, such as DNA replication errors, chemical damage, and radiation. Additionally, they investigate how these protective mechanisms are regulated and how disruptions in genome stability can lead to diseases such as cancer and genetic disorders. Research in genome stability encompasses a wide range of disciplines, including molecular biology, genetics, biochemistry, and cell biology.
