ABSTRACT
Homologous recombination is essential to maintain genome stability in response to DNA damage. Here, we have used genome-wide sequencing to quantitatively analyze at nucleotide resolution the dynamics of DNA end resection, re-synthesis, and gene conversion at a double-strand break. Resection initiates asymmetrically in an MRX-independent manner before proceeding steadily in both directions. Sgs1, Exo1, Rad51, and Srs2 differently regulate the rate and symmetry of early and late resection. Exo1 also ensures the coexistence of resection and re-synthesis, while Srs2 guarantees a constant and symmetrical DNA re-polymerization. Gene conversion is MMR independent, spans only a minor fraction of the resected region, and its unidirectionality depends on Srs2. Finally, these repair factors prevent the development of alterations remote from the DNA lesion, such as subtelomeric instability, duplication of genomic regions, and over-replication of Ty elements. Altogether, this approach allows a quantitative analysis and a direct genome-wide visualization of DNA repair by homologous recombination.
