A widely accepted assumption in radiobiology is that ionizing radiation kills cells by inducing forms of damage in DNA structures that lead to the formation of lethal chromosome aberrations. One goal of radiation biology research is the identification of these forms of DNA damage, the characterizati
## Abstract DNA doubleβstrand breaks (DSBs) are the most hazardous lesions arising in the genome of eukaryotic organisms, and yet occur normally during DNA replication, meiosis, and immune system development. The efficient repair of DSBs is crucial in maintaining genomic integrity, cellular viabili
