Is non-homologous end-joining really an inherently error-prone process?

M Bétermier, P Bertrand, BS Lopez - PLoS genetics, 2014 - journals.plos.org
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 …
