It has been known for some time that DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) initiate homologous recombination during meiosis. Two recent studies show that the fate of a single DSB in yeast is strongly influenced by the presence of other breaks in the genome, hinting that cell-wide or chromosome-regional mechanisms control the outcome of DSB repair.
一段时间以来,人们已经知道DNA双链断裂(DSB)在减数分裂过程中引发同源重组。最近的两项研究表明,酵母中单个DSB的命运受到基因组中其他断裂存在的强烈影响,这暗示全细胞或染色体区域机制控制着DSB修复的结果。
