New video posted: How can DNA become damaged in the cell?

In this video, I look at how DNA can become damaged in cells and introduce four ways damage can occur:

• deletions
• insertions
• substitutions
• transitions
• and transversions. 

I also look at exogenous and endogenous damage sources of the damage.
