Non-Homologous End Joining

Non-Homologous End Joining (NHEJ) is a natural DNA repair mechanism. It can introduce small insertions, deletions, or substitutions at the site of the DNA break. This often results in gene disruptions or mutations. Unlike HDR, NHEJ is not dependent on a homologous DNA sequence as a template.
