Abstract excerpt
DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) are usually repaired through either non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) or homologous recombination (HR). While HR is basically error-free repair, NHEJ is a mutagenic pathway that leads to deletion. NHEJ must be precisely regulated to maintain genomic integrity. To clarify the role of NHEJ, we investigated the genetic consequences of NHEJ repair of DSBs in human cells. Human...
