Hyper-recombination in ribosomal DNA is driven by resection-independent RAD51 loading
2023-12-04
Abstract excerpt
Ribosomal DNA (rDNA) encodes the ribosomal RNA genes and represents a genomic region that is intrinsically unstable. Despite decades-long awareness of rDNA instability, the underlying mechanisms and implications for genome integrity remain elusive. Here, we use Bloom Syndrome (BS), a rare genetic disease characterized by DNA repair defects and hyper-unstable rDNA, to investigate the mechanisms leading to rDNA inst...
