Abstract excerpt
In eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms DNA double-strand breaks with non-complementary ends can be joined by mechanisms of illegitimate recombination. We examined the joining of 3'-protruding single strand (PSS) ends, which do not have recessed 3' hydroxyls that can allow for fill-in DNA synthes...
