the "salvage gene" and DNA damage - literature citation

["Karam, Andrew" <Andrew_Karam@URMC.Rochester.edu>]

I requested reference information from Dr. Hinkle, the researcher who
apparently first worked with the "salvage gene".  His response follows:
--------------
It was probably referring to our work published most prominently in the
following
two 1996 papers:

Science 272:1646-1649
Nature 382: 729-731

Mathematics may be compared to a mill of exquisite workmanship which grinds
you stuff of any degree of fineness; but, nevertheless, what you get out
depends on what you put in; and as the grandest mill in the world will not
extract wheat-flour from peascods, so pages of formulae will not get a
definite result out of loose data.  (T.H. Huxley, 1869)
