Specificity of end resection pathways for double-strand break regions containing ribonucleotides and base lesions

DNA double-strand break repair by homologous recombination initiates with nucleolytic resection of the 5’ DNA strand at the break ends. Here, the authors reveal that the lesion context influences the action and efficiency of the long range resection factors EXO1 and BLM-DNA2.
