Homology-directed DNA repair (HDR) necessitates templated DNA synthesis to repair double-strand breaks (DSBs), replicative lesions, and telomeres. Alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT) is a clinically relevant model of HDR responsible for telomere maintenance in [approximately] 10-15% of human cancers. However, the mechanisms of mammalian HDR synthesis at telomeres or elsewhere in the genome were largely unknown. [It was] discovered that telomere DSBs elicit robust templated synthesis capable of generating long nascent telomeres, a process ... named break-induced telomere synthesis (BITS). 3, record 1, English, - break%2Dinduced%20telomere%20synthesis
