LINC complexes promote homologous recombination in part through inhibition of nonhomologous end joining

DNA repair is critical for genome integrity. Lawrence et al. reveal a role for a novel complex that links the nucleus to microtubules to promote accurate repair through both inhibition of error-prone nonhomologous end joining and promotion of homologous recombination.
