Difference between Direct DNA damage and Melanoma

Direct DNA damage vs. Melanoma

Direct DNA damage can occur when DNA directly absorbs a UVB photon, or for numerous other reasons. Melanoma, also known as malignant melanoma, is a type of cancer that develops from the pigment-containing cells known as melanocytes.

Similarities between Direct DNA damage and Melanoma

Direct DNA damage and Melanoma have 7 things in common (in Unionpedia): DNA repair, Pyrimidine, Pyrimidine dimer, Sunburn, Sunscreen, Thymine, Ultraviolet.

DNA repair

DNA repair is a collection of processes by which a cell identifies and corrects damage to the DNA molecules that encode its genome.

Pyrimidine

Pyrimidine is an aromatic heterocyclic organic compound similar to pyridine.

Pyrimidine dimer

Pyrimidine dimers are molecular lesions formed from thymine or cytosine bases in DNA via photochemical reactions.

Sunburn

Sunburn is a form of radiation burn that affects living tissue, such as skin, that results from an overexposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, commonly from the sun.

Sunscreen

Sunscreen, also known as sunblock, sun cream or suntan lotion, is a lotion, spray, gel or other topical product that absorbs or reflects some of the sun's ultraviolet (UV) radiation and thus helps protect against sunburn.

Thymine

---> Thymine (T, Thy) is one of the four nucleobases in the nucleic acid of DNA that are represented by the letters G–C–A–T.

Ultraviolet

Ultraviolet (UV) is electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength from 10 nm to 400 nm, shorter than that of visible light but longer than X-rays.

Direct DNA damage and Melanoma Comparison

Direct DNA damage has 14 relations, while Melanoma has 191. As they have in common 7, the Jaccard index is 3.41% = 7 / (14 + 191).
