Abstract excerpt
Homology-directed repair (HDR) is essential to limit mutagenesis, chromosomal instability (CIN) and tumorigenesis. We have characterized the consequences of HDR deficiency on anaphase, using markers for incomplete chromosome separation: DAPI-bridges and Ultra-fine bridges (UFBs). We show that multiple HDR factors (Rad51, Brca2 and Brca1) are critical for complete chromosome separation during anaphase, while...
