DNA double-strand break repair within heterochromatic regions

DNA DSBs (double-strand breaks) represent a critical lesion for a cell, with misrepair being potentially as harmful as lack of repair. In mammalian cells, DSBs are predominantly repaired by non-homologous end-joining or homologous recombination. The kinetics of repair of DSBs can differ widely, and...
