Classical non-homologous end-joining pathway utilizes nascent RNA for error-free double-strand break repair of transcribed genes
Most adult mammalian cells prefer to repair double-strand DNA breaks though the classical nonhomologous end-joining pathway. Here the authors present evidence that a nascent RNA transcript can serve as a template to facilitate error-free repair.
