The Mec1/ATR kinase is crucial for genome maintenance, although the mechanisms by which it controls DNA repair pathways remain elusive. Here we uncovered a role for Mec1/ATR in controlling homologous recombination (HR) factors in response to hyper-resection of DNA ends. Cells lacking RAD9, a checkpo...
