Alternative lengthening of human telomeres is a conservative DNA replication process with features of break‐induced replication
19 Oct 2016
Abstract excerpt
Human malignancies overcome replicative senescence either by activating the reverse‐transcriptase telomerase or by utilizing a homologous recombination‐based mechanism, referred to as alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT). In budding yeast, ALT exhibits features of break‐induced replication (BIR), a repair pathway for one‐ended DNA double‐strand breaks (DSBs) that requires the non‐essential subunit Pol32 of...
