Foci on fanconi

Trends Mol Med. 2001 Jun;7(6):237-9. doi: 10.1016/s1471-4914(01)02042-1.

Abstract

The protein network protecting the stability of the genome is defective in Fanconi anemia (FA). The newest in a series of FA proteins is involved in DNA damage response, but the mechanism is still unclear. Clues may come from yeast two-hybrid experiments, an extraordinarily successful tool for determining molecular function.
