Popis: Mutations in homology-directed repair genes likeBRCA2are linked to breast cancer susceptibility. Here the authors generate mice with an inducible DNA break-reporter system and see high levels of homology-directed repair in proliferative mammary tissue and a general reliance on BRCA2 in various tissues.
