Repair of DNA strand breaks in a minichromosome in vivo: kinetics, modeling, and effects of inhibitors.

To obtain an overall picture of the repair of DNA single and double strand breaks in a defined region of chromatin in vivo, we studied their repair in a ~170 kb circular minichromosome whose length and topology are analogous to those of the closed loops in genomic chromatin. The rate of repair of si...
