RAD50 is required for efficient initiation of resection and recombinational repair at random, gamma-induced double-strand break ends.

Resection of DNA double-strand break (DSB) ends is generally considered a critical determinant in pathways of DSB repair and genome stability. Unlike for enzymatically induced site-specific DSBs, little is known about processing of random "dirty-ended" DSBs created by DNA damaging agents s...
