Abstract excerpt
Recombination is essential for the recovery of stalled/collapsed replication forks and therefore for the maintenance of genomic stability. The situation becomes critical when the replication fork collides with an unrepaired single-strand break and converts it into a one-ended double-strand break. We show in fission yeast that a unique broken replication fork requires the homologous recombination (HR) enzymes for...
