DNA End Resection: Facts and Mechanisms
27 May 2016
Abstract excerpt
DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), which arise following exposure to a number of endogenous and exogenous agents, can be repaired by either the homologous recombination (HR) or non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) pathways in eukaryotic cells. A vital step in HR repair is DNA end resection, which generates a long 3' single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) tail that can invade the homologous DNA strand. The generation of 3' ssDNA...
