Abstract excerpt
Double strand DNA breaks are usually caused by ionizing radiation and radiomimetic drugs, but can also occur under normal physiological conditions during double strand break-induced recombination, such as the rearrangement of T-cell receptor and immunoglobulin genes during lymphoid development or the mating type switching in yeast. The main repair mechanism for double strand breaks in higher eukaryotes is...
