This biographical account summarizes the professional career and scientific contributions of John Paul Richard Thomas, a contemporary leading figure in the systematics of West Indian amphibians and non-avian reptiles, especially of blind snakes of the families Typhlopidae and Leptotyphlopidae. Since his first expedition to the West Indies in 1957, Richard's vast field experience (including three trips to Peru between 1968 and 1974), impressive collecting skills, and remarkable ability to detect phenotypic variation among natural populations have resulted in the description of more than 70 species of snakes (24 typhlopids, 4 leptotyphlopids), lizards, and frogs in 16 genera and 11 taxonomic families. Richard joined the faculty of the Department of Biology, University of Puerto Rico, Río Piedras, in 1976 and ever since his efforts significantly advanced organismal biology research at the institution.

DNA mismatch repair-dependent DNA damage responses and cancer.

DNA Repair (Amst)

September 2020

Department of Human Genetics, Leiden University Medical Center, PO Box 9600, 2300 RC Leiden, the Netherlands. Electronic address:

Canonical DNA mismatch repair (MMR) excises base-base mismatches to increase the fidelity of DNA replication. Thus, loss of MMR leads to increased spontaneous mutagenesis. MMR genes also are involved in the suppression of mutagenic, and the induction of protective, responses to various types of DNA damage.
