DNA double-strand breaks arise accidentally upon exposure of DNA to radiation and chemicals or result from faulty DNA metabolic processes. DNA breaks can also be …
DNA double-strand breaks repaired by non-homologous end joining display limited DNA end-processing and chromosomal mobility. By contrast, double-strand breaks undergoing …
Chromatin is organized into higher-order structures that form subcompartments in interphase nuclei. Different categories of specialized enzymes act on chromatin and …
Heterochromatin mainly comprises repeated DNA sequences that are prone to ectopic recombination. In Drosophila cells,'safe'repair of heterochromatic double-strand breaks by …
Recombinational DNA repair is a universal aspect of DNA metabolism and is essential for genomic integrity. It is a template-directed process that uses a second chromosomal copy …
Nuclear actin-based movements have been shown to orchestrate clustering of DNA double- strand breaks (DSBs) into homology-directed repair domains. Here we describe multiscale …

In this review, we discuss the repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) using a homologous DNA sequence (ie, homologous recombination [HR]), focusing mainly on yeast …

DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are harmful lesions leading to genomic instability or diversity. Non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) is a prominent DSB repair pathway, which …
Telomere length maintenance is a requisite feature of cellular immortalization and a hallmark of human cancer. While most human cancers express telomerase activity,∼ 10 …
