Between sisters: Watching replication-associated recombinational DNA repair.

Published in: The Journal of cell biology (2018)

Amarh et al. (2018. J. Cell Biol. https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201803020) visualize for the first time the repair of double-strand breaks during DNA replication. As viewed by live-cell fluorescent imaging of Escherichia coli, repair of replication-dependent breaks is extraordinarily rapid and localized within the cell.
