Abstract
Described herein are methods and systems relating to high throughput, genome-wide translocation sequencing (HTGTS) and/or detection of double-stranded DNA break (DSB) locations. The methods described herein can comprise generating DSBs in a nucleic acid sequence and performing nested PCR with the primers described herein. Described herein is an enhanced HTGTS approach. The assays and methods described herein permit the measurement of various DNA double-strand break (DSB) activities either intrinsic to the biological system or from outside agents.
