Regulation of DNA-end resection by hnRNPU-like proteins promotes DNA double-strand break signaling and repair.

abstract：:How eukaryotic chromosomes fold inside the nucleus is an age-old question that remains unanswered today. Early biochemical and microscopic studies revealed the existence of chromatin domains and loops as a pervasive feature of interphase chromosomes, but the biological implications of such organizational features were...
