The Helicase PIF1 Facilitates Resection over Sequences Prone to Forming G4 Structures
Summary: DNA breaks are complex lesions that can be repaired either by non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) or by homologous recombination (HR). The decision between these two routes of DNA repair is a key point of the DNA damage response (DDR) that is controlled by DNA resection. The core machinery ca...
