AbstractIn this study, the formation and repair of large (>1 kb) insertion/deletion (I/D) heterologies during double-strand-break repair (DSBR) was investigated using a gene-targeting assay that permits efficient recovery of sequence insertion events at the haploid chromosomal immunoglobulin (Ig) μ-locus in mouse hybridoma cells. The results revealed that (i) large I/D heterologies were generated on one or both sides of the DSB and, in some cases, formed symmetrically in both homology regions; (ii) large I/D heterologies did not negatively affect the gene targeting frequency; and (iii) prior to DNA replication, the large I/D heterologies were rectified.
