Figure 1. γH2AX follows homology search. Homology search (depicted as black arrows) during homologous recombination can be monitored in vivo by Rad51-directed chromatin immunoprecipitations (ChIP). The profiles of ChIP signal distributions for γH2A (orange) and Rad51 (black) both follow homology search and only differ near the DSB because of histone eviction linked to resection (blue, ssDNA).
