Single base-pair alterations in the Escherichia coli trp operon leader region that relieve transcription termination at the trp attenuator.

abstract：:DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are serious genomic insults that can lead to chromosomal rearrangements if repaired incorrectly. To gain insight into the nuclear mechanisms contributing to these rearrangements, we developed an assay in yeast to measure cis (same site) vs. trans (different site) repair for the majority...

Additionally, the effective therapeutic window for many protocols can be very narrow, frequently resulting in toxicity. ...
