Abstract excerpt
Double-strand breaks (DSBs) are an important source of genomic change in many organisms. We have examined the consequences of a persistent versus a rapidly repaired DSB on cell progression, viability, and stability of human DNA contained in dispensable yeast artificial chromosomes (YACs) within the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. An Alu-URA3-YZ integrating plasmid was used to target the YZ sequence to repetitive...
