Complex chromosomal rearrangements mediated by break-induced replication involve structure-selective endonucleases.

DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair occurring in repeated DNA sequences often leads to the generation of chromosomal rearrangements. Homologous recombination normally ensures a faithful repair of DSBs through a mechanism that transfers the genetic information of an intact donor template to the brok...
