Abstract:
The correct duplication and transmission of genetic material to daughter cells is the primary objective of the cell division cycle. DNA replication and chromosome segregation present both challenges and opportunities for DNA repair pathways that safeguard genetic information. As a consequence, there is a profound, two-way connection between DNA repair and cell cycle control. Here, we review how DNA repair processes, and DNA double-strand break repair in particular, are regulated during the cell cycle to optimize genomic integrity.
