Abstract excerpt
Break-induced replication (BIR) is an important process of DNA metabolism that has been implicated in the restart of collapsed replication forks, as well as in various chromosomal instabilities, including loss of heterozygosity, translocations, and alternative telomere lengthening. Therefore, knowledge of how BIR is carried out and regulated is important for better understanding the maintenance of genomic...
