RIF1 acts downstream of 53BP1 to coordinate DNA double strand break repair pathway choice between non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) and homologous recombination (HR). Here we identified ASF1 as an end
The pleiotropic cytokine interferon-gamma (IFN?) is known to be associated with cytostatic, anti-proliferation, and pro-apoptosis functions in cancer cells. However, cancer cells can become resistant
SPO11-promoted DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) formation is a crucial step for meiotic recombination, and it is indispensable to detect the broken DNA ends accurately for dissecting the molecular mech
Genomic instability is a known precursor to cancer and aging. The RecQ helicases are a highly conserved family of DNA-unwinding enzymes that play key roles in maintaining genome stability in all livi
We report testis DMC1 enrichment at DSB (Double-Strand Break) hotspots in a B6xCAST F1 mouse, which is heterozygous at Prdm9, with one wild-type CAST allele and one allele found in human populations (
