AUNIP/C1orf135 directs DNA double-strand breaks towards the homologous recombination repair pathway

DNA double strand breaks can be repaired by homology-independent or homology-directed mechanisms. The choice between these pathways is a key event for genomic stability maintenance. Here the authors identify and characterize AUNIP, as a factor involved in tilting the balance towards homology repair.
