Abstract excerpt
We present a rapid in vitro method to scan the repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). A DSB was introduced at the EcoRI site within the lacZ gene of the plasmid pUC18 and the plasmid was exposed to cellular extracts from a wild-type repair-competent (RAD) and a mutant (rad52Delta) strain of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The fidelity of rejoining was determined by the expression of the lacZ gene after...
