An Expanding Toolkit for Heterochromatin Repair Studies

An Expanding Toolkit for Heterochromatin Repair Studies

Pericentromeric heterochromatin is mostly composed of repetitive DNA sequences prone to aberrant recombination. Cells have developed highly specialized mechanisms to enable ‘safe’ homologous recombination (HR) repair while preventing aberrant recombination in this domain. Understanding heterochromat...
