Abstract:

DNA repair and mutagenesis define the balance between genome stability and plasticity. To understand the molecular mechanisms and their regulation, our group develops microscopy methods to visualise DNA repair proteins at a single-molecule level and to detect mutations in real-time within living bacterial cells. These tools provide an unprecedented direct view into the molecular processes that guard DNA stability or promote mutagenesis when bacteria experience stress conditions.
