Modernizing the Nonhomologous End-Joining Repertoire: Alternative and Classical NHEJ Share the Stage
20 Sept 2013
Abstract excerpt
DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are common lesions that continually threaten genomic integrity. Failure to repair a DSB has deleterious consequences, including cell death. Misrepair is also fraught with danger, especially inappropriate end-joining events, which commonly underlie oncogenic transformation and can scramble the genome. Canonically, cells employ two basic mechanisms to repair DSBs: homologous...
