General Information

General Information Comment Organism
malfunction lack of dUTPase leads to uracil-substituted DNA that perturbs base excision repair, resulting in DNA fragmentation and thymine-less cell death Drosophila melanogaster
physiological function dUTPase is responsible for prevention of uracil incorporation into DNA Drosophila melanogaster
