Abstract: The 2015 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was honored to three scientists of Tomas Lindahl from Sweden, Paul Modrich from United States and Aziz Sancar with both American and Turkish nationalities for their contributions in revealing the mechanisms of DNA repair in cells. This article overviewed their research discoveries with the highlighted significance. Meanwhile, as DNA repair is closely connected to cell genome stability, especially under disease conditions, we commented the impact and perspective of high-throughput sequencing and the omic technologies on the future studies in biomedical fields.

Key words: Nobel Prize in Chemistry, DNA repair, genome stability, high-throughput sequencing
