Cell cycle and DNA repair
Advice on health categories
Studies of normal cell cycle and DNA repair should be coded as Generic Health Relevance unless they relate to a specific cell type in which case the appropriate Health Category should be used. These studies should not be coded as Cancer or Congenital Disorders.
Advice on research activities
Studies of normal cell cycle and DNA repair should be coded within the 1 Underpinning code group.
Main inclusion criteria
Studies of normal biology including:
- genes and gene products
- molecular, cellular and physiological structures and function
- biological pathways and processes including normal immune function
- developmental studies and normal ageing
- bioinformatics and structural studies
- development and characterisation of model systems
Advice on research activities
To be used for research involving normal biological function including the following:
- basic immune and pain responses and wound healing studies that are not linked to a specific disease/condition stimulus
- normal ageing or pregnancy not linked to a condition
- normal stem cell research into differentiation and basic developmental biology of stem cells not linked to therapeutic development
- protein structural studies
- bioinformatics
- normal cell cycle and DNA replication and repair
Excludes studies characterising proteins or pathways linked to a condition or disease.
Excludes studies of processes associated to cancer which are rarely ‘normal’.
