Abstract excerpt
Break induced replication (BIR) is a double strand break repair pathway that can promote genetic instabilities similar to those observed in cancer. Instead of a replication fork, BIR is driven by a migration bubble where asynchronous synthesis between leading and lagging strands leads to accumulation of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) that promotes mutation. However, the details of the mechanism of mutagenesis,...
