Pol θ-mediated end-joining uses microhomologies containing mismatches
Abstract DNA polymerase theta (Pol θ) initiates repair of DNA double-strand breaks by pairing single strands at short “microhomologies”. It is important to understand microhomology selection, as some cancer cells rely on Pol θ for survival. Here, we investigate end-joining by purified human Pol θ, e...
