Abstract
Dynamics of DNA repair and recruitment of repair factors to damaged DNA can be studied by live cell microscopy. DNA damage is usually inflicted by a laser beam illuminating a DNA-interacting photosensitizer in a small area of the nucleus. We demonstrate that a focused beam of visible low intensity light alone can inflict local DNA damage and permit studies of DNA repair, thus avoiding potential artifacts caused by exogenous photosensitizers.Mesh:
