The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Molecular Mechanisms of Ultraviolet Radiation-Induced DNA Damage and Repair (2010, background): “In double stranded B-DNA, where the dimer entails two adjoining pyrimidine bases on the same DNA strand, only the syn isomers can be generated, whereas the cis isomer is preferred over the trans isomer to a great extent [42].”
Persistence of Environmental DNA in Freshwater Ecosystems (2011, background): “UV radiation [28] and DNA uptake by micro-organisms, as source of nutriments (carbon, nitrogen and phosphorous) and to repair their own DNA damages [29], contribute also to damage and decrease DNA molecules density.”
Inactivation of the coronavirus that induces severe acute respiratory syndrome, SARS-CoV (2004, background): “UVA is weakly absorbed by DNA and RNA, and is much less effective than UVC and UVB in inducing pyrimidine dimers, but may cause additional genetic damage through the production of reactive oxygen species, which cause oxidization of bases and strand breaks (Tyrrell et al., 2001) .”
Biological Aspects in Food Preservation by Ultraviolet Light: a Review (2013, background): “When cells are exposed to UV-B radiation, fewer CPDs, 6- 4PPs, and DewPPs are produced compared to those in UV-C radiation (Ravanat et al. 2001; Pattison andDavies 2006).”
