Homologous recombination occurs frequently at innate GT microsatellites in normal somatic and germ cells in vivo

BACKGROUND: In somatic cells, homologous recombination (HR) is a rare event caused by eventual DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). In contrast, germ cells show high frequency of HR caused by programmed DSBs. Microsatellites are prone to DSBs during genome replication and, thereby, capable of promoting...
