Dna2 Deficiency May Result in DNA Insertions at Chromosomal Breaks

Cells have many mechanisms to protect genomic integrity, including the process of repairing errors that may occur during DNA replication. The Dna2 nuclease is involved in DNA repair, but little is known about its effect on chromosomal instability. In a new study, researchers from several research institutions, including Baylor College of Medicine, revealed that when Dna2 is missing, smaller DNA fragments jump from the entire genome to the chromosomal breaks….
