Abstract excerpt
Balanced regulation of DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair is crucial for genetic integrity and cell survival. Cells perform DSB repair either by homologous recombination (HR) or by non-homologous end joining (NHEJ). Either option carries risk for DNA instability. The presence in the cell of the tumour suppressor p53 has been shown to suppress the levels of HR; however, the effect of p53 on DNA EJ is less well...
