Abstract excerpt
Chromosomal double-strand breaks (DSBs) can be repaired by either homology-dependent or homology-independent pathways. Using a novel intron-based genetic assay to identify rare homology-independent DNA rearrangements associated with repair of a chromosomal DSB in S. cerevisiae, we observed that approximately 20% of rearrangements involved endogenous DNA insertions at the break site. We have analyzed 37 inserts...
