Multiple DSB Resection Activities Redundantly Promote Alternative End Joining-Mediated Class Switch Recombination

Alternative end joining (A-EJ) catalyzes substantial level of antibody class switch recombination (CSR) in B cells deficient for classical non-homologous end joining, featuring increased switch (S) region DSB resection and junctional microhomology (MH). While resection has been suggested to initiate...
