This is one of the two main types of nucleic acid, consisting of a long, unbranched macromolecule formed from one, or more commonly, two, strands of linked deoxyribonucleotides.",IBA GO:0006281,BP,"DNA repair","The process of restoring DNA after damage. Genomes are subject to damage by chemical and physical agents in the environment (e.g. UV and ionizing radiations, chemical mutagens, fungal and bacterial toxins, etc.) and by free radicals or alkylating agents endogenously generated in metabolism. DNA is also damaged because of errors during its replication. A variety of different DNA repair pathways have been reported that include direct reversal, base excision repair, nucleotide excision repair, photoreactivation, bypass, double-strand break repair pathway, and mismatch repair pathway.",IEA GO:0008296,MF,"3'-5'-exodeoxyribonuclease activity","Catalysis of the sequential cleavage of mononucleotides from a free 3' terminus of a DNA molecule.",IBA GO:0008853,MF,"exodeoxyribonuclease III activity","Catalysis of the degradation of double-stranded DNA.
