DSB repair pathways. Resection by CtIP, Mre11, Rad50 and Nbs1 impairs repair by Nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ) and is required for Theta mediated end joining (TMEJ), Single strand annealing (SSA), and homologous recombination (HR). Repair products for TMEJ favors deletions at microhomologies in flanking DNA (in red).
