title: Repair of alkylated bacteriophage T4 deoxyribonucleic acid by a mechanism involving polynucleotide ligase.
abstract: Methyl methanesulfate-induced lesions in bacteriophage T4 are repaired primarily by a mechanism involving polynucleotide ligase. Apparently, other recombinational and ultraviolet repair functions aren't involved.
