Fig. 6: Loss of 53BP1 and XLF causes distinct deletion patterns, and the effect of 53BP1 dominates in the double mutant.

A Combined loss of 53BP1 and XLF causes an increase in −2 and −7 deletions, similar to the loss of 53BP1 alone. Shown are deletion sizes for the samples shown in Fig. 5C. Frequencies represent the mean ± SD. n = 3 biologically independent transfections. Statistics with an unpaired t-test using Holm–Sidak correction. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, ****P < 0.0001, n.s. = not significant. § = deletion size was only found in 1 or 2 replicates, † = deletion size was not found in any of the replicates, and ‡ = deletion size was found in <2 Parental replicates. B Microhomology use varies with distinct deletions. Shown is the fraction of microhomology used for each deletion size and experimental condition shown in (Fig. 5C). n = 3 biologically independent transfections.
