Resumen

DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) pose a special challenge for cells in the maintenance of genome stability. In eukaryotes, the removal of DSBs is mediated by two major pathways: homologous recombination (HR) and nonhomologous endjoining (NHEJ). Capitalizing on existing genetic frameworks, biochemical reconstitution studies have begun to yield insights into the mechanistic underpinnings of these DNA repair reactions.
