The chromatin remodeler Chd1 supports MRX and Exo1 functions in resection of DNA double-strand breaks.

Repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) by homologous recombination (HR) requires that the 5'-terminated DNA strands are resected to generate single-stranded DNA overhangs. This process is initiated by a short-range resection catalyzed by the MRX (Mre11-Rad50-Xrs2) complex, which is followed...
