icke-homolog sammanfogning (NHEJ)

non-homologous end joining [ENGLISH]

Mechanism for the efficient but error-prone repair of double-strand breaks in DNA by direct ligation of two broken phosphodiester backbone ends, without the need for a homologous strand of DNA.

icke-homolog sammanfogning [SWEDISH]

Cellens DNA-reparationsmekanism som fungerar genom att förena de fria ändarna efter ett DNA-strängbrott. Jämfört med homolog rekombination är denna mekanism oklar och leder ofta till slumpmässig inklusion eller eliminering av nukleotider runt platsen för brottet vilket leder till införande eller radering av den genetiska koden.
