      Dornblut, C.; Quinn, N.; Monajambashi, S.; Prendergast, L.; van Vuuren, C.; Munch, S.; Deng, W.; Leonhardt, H.; Cardoso, M. C.; Hoischen, C.; Diekmann, S.; Sullivan, K. F. (The Royal Society, 2014-02-12)
      The functional identity of centromeres arises from a set of specific nucleoprotein particle subunits of the centromeric chromatin fibre. These include CENP-A and histone H3 nucleosomes and a novel nucleosome-like complex ...

    • A localized nucleolar dna damage response facilitates recruitment of the homology-directed repair machinery independent of cell cycle stage 

      van Sluis, Marjolein; McStay, Brian (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, 2015-05-27)
      DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are repaired by two main pathways: nonhomologous end-joining and homologous recombination (HR). Repair pathway choice is thought to be determined by cell cycle timing and chromatin context. ...
