Repair of DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) is key for maintenance of genome integrity. When DSBs are repaired by homologous recombination, DNA ends can undergo extensive processing, producing long stretches of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA). In vivo, DSB processing occurs in the context of chromatin, and studies indicate that histones may remain associated with processed DSBs. Here we demonstrate t...
