The paper investigates the genetic factors influencing error-prone NHEJ repair of chromosomal DSBs with 5' overhangs in yeast, identifying roles for Pol4, TLS polymerases, and Exo1/Sgs1.

This study identifies a yeast Top2 mutant that generates stabilized cleavage intermediates, leading to de novo duplications via nonhomologous end-joining.

This study investigates how different end structures of double-strand breaks affect recombination outcomes in yeast, finding that end polarity has little effect on mitotic recombination despite potential differences in repair rate.

The paper maps gene conversion tracts from DSB-initiated LOH events in yeast, revealing unexpected tract positioning and complexity.
