Plants use nucleotide excision repair to maintain genome integrity in response to damage caused by stresses such as UV radiation. Here Oztas et al. use genome-wide profiling to show that excision repair in Arabidopsis is strongly coupled to transcription and reflects circadian patterns of gene expression.
