Abstract

Slade et al. (2009) describe in this issue how the genome of the bacterium Deinococcus radiodurans gets reassembled after being shattered by high-dose radiation. In contrast to the extreme nature of the damage, the steps of repair appear surprisingly ordinary. So, why can't all organisms carry out extreme genome repair?
