Abstract excerpt
Double strand-breaks (DSBs) of genomic DNA caused by ionizing radiation or mutagenic chemicals are a common source of mutation, recombination, chromosomal aberration, and cell death. Linker histones are DNA packaging proteins with established roles in chromatin compaction, gene transcription, and in homologous recombination (HR)-mediated DNA repair. Using a machine-learning model for functional prioritization of...
