Repair of G1 induced DNA double-strand breaks in S-G2/M by alternative NHEJ
Abstract
Depending on the cell cycle stage, cells can repair their genome via different pathways. Here the authors reveal mechanistic insights into repair of double strand breaks induced during G1 in an error-prone manner by Pol θ-dependent and PARP1-independent alt NHEJ during the SG2/M phases of the cell cycle
