Is non-homologous end-joining really an inherently error-prone process?

Is non-homologous end-joining really an inherently error-prone process?

DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are harmful lesions leading to genomic instability or diversity. Non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) is a prominent DSB repair pathway, which has long been considered to be error-prone. However, recent data have pointed to the intrinsic precision of NHEJ. Three reasons...
