Hyper-recombination in ribosomal DNA is driven by long-range resection-independent RAD51 accumulation

Abstract Ribosomal DNA (rDNA) encodes the ribosomal RNA genes and represents an intrinsically unstable genomic region. However, the underlying mechanisms and implications for genome integrity remain elusive. Here, we use Bloom syndrome (BS), a rare genetic disease characterized by DNA repair defects...
