## Abstract Two mechanisms are available for the repair of DNA doubleβstrand breaks (DSBs) in eukaryotic cells: homology directed repair (HDR) and nonβhomologous endβjoining (NHEJ). While NHEJ is not restricted to a particular phase of the cell cycle, it is incapable of accurately repairing DBSs th

β¦ Synopsis
A model is described for the repair of induced double-strand breaks in DNA which involves a proposed heteroduplex intermediate and normally occurring repair enzymes. The model predicts that this repair can lead to non-reciprocal and/or reciprocal recombination. The evidence which has been evaluated from other studies indicates a clear correspondence between the production of double-strand breaks and the occurrence of intragenic recombinants. In addition, the model describes how enzymatic.allyinduced double-strand breaks could initiate recombination without concomitant loss of chromosomal segments.

## Abstract Abnormal activation of cellular DNA repair pathways by deregulated signaling of receptor tyrosine kinase systems has broad implications for both cancer biology and treatment. Recent studies suggest a potential link between DNA repair and aberrant activation of the hepatocyte growth fact
We studied the repair of double-strand breaks (DSB) in plasmid DNA introduced into haploid cells of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The efficiency of repair was estimated from the frequency of transformation of the cells by an autonomously replicated linearized plasmid. The frequency of "lithium
