1. Double strand breaks are also generated during repair of DNA cross links.2. ATM-mediated two-step response to DNA double strand breaks . 3. The damage usually detected are single strand breaks and double strand breaks . 4. Meiotic recombination is often initiated by double strand breaks . 5. This enzyme helps facilitate cell division and DNA repair, specifically with double strand breaks . 6. This gene encodes a protein that functions in genome maintenance ( double strand break repair ). 7. This discovery was a major breakthrough in understanding the double strand break repair pathway in mammals. 8. LIG3 has a role in microhomology-mediated end joining ( MMEJ ) repair of double strand breaks . 9. However this is not true, both single-and double strand breaks are also detected in neutral conditions. 10. At higher temperatures, about 100 �C, the double strands break apart, doubling the number of molecules.
