ABSTRACT
Multiple DNA repair pathways and biological responses to DNA damage have evolved to protect cells from various types of lesions to which they are subjected. Although DNA repair systems are mechanistically distinct, all process the damaged region and then insert new bases to fill the gap. In 1969, Robert Painter developed an assay called "unscheduled" DNA synthesis (UDS), which measures DNA repair synthesis as the uptake of radiolabeled DNA precursors distinct from replicative synthesis. Contemporary detection of nascent DNA during repair by next-generation sequencing grants genome-wide information about the nature of lesions that threaten genome integrity. Recently, we developed the SAR-seq (synthesis associated with repair sequencing) method, which provides a high-resolution view of UDS. SAR-seq has been utilized to map programmed DNA repair sites in non-dividing neurons, replication initiation zones, monitor 53BP1 function in countering end-resection, and to identify regions of the genome that fail to complete replication during S phase but utilize repair synthesis during mitosis (MiDAS). As an example of SAR-seq, we present data showing that sites replicated during mitosis correspond to common fragile sites, which have been linked to tumor progression, cellular senescence, and aging.
