Abstract excerpt
P element-induced double-strand breaks (DSBs) on the X chromosome of Drosophila melanogaster were repaired up to four times more frequently when functional Su(Hw) chromatin insulator protein was removed from all genomic binding sites. Simultaneous comparisons of interallelic gap repair frequencies at two target loci on the X chromosome confirmed that a Su(Hw) binding site nested within a template had no effect on...
