| Abstract |
Dysfunctional telomeres arising either through natural attrition due to telomerase deficiency or by the removal of telomere-binding proteins are recognized as double-stranded breaks (DSBs). Repair of DSBs is crucial for the maintenance of genome stability. In mammals, DSBs are repaired by either error-prone nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ) or error-free homologous recombination (HR) and can be visualized as chromosomal fusions. |
