## Abstract Using the technique of neutral elution through polycarbonate filters as a measure of DNA length, and hence of the number of doubleβstrand breaks incurred as a result of radiation damage, we found that normal human fibroblasts rejoin 50% of all breaks within only 3 min (37Β°C). This fast
Chromosomal aberrations are believed to result from the incorrect joining of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). In an attempt to investigate induction and rejoining quality of DSBs following ionizing radiation exposure in specific genomic locations of mammalian DNA, an experimental approach based on S
