Term Name:	transcription-coupled nucleotide-excision repair
Synonyms:	TC-NER, TCR, transcription-coupled NER, transcription-coupled repair
Definition:	The nucleotide-excision repair process that carries out preferential repair of DNA lesions on the actively transcribed strand of the DNA duplex. In addition, the transcription-coupled nucleotide-excision repair pathway is required for the recognition and repair of a small subset of lesions that are not recognized by the global genome nucleotide excision repair pathway.
