Reassembly of shattered chromosomes in Deinococcus radiodurans
Deinococcus radiodurans is able to withstand high doses of radiation,
despite the DNA damage caused. 
Genome fragments with regions of complementary sequence meet and initiate
synthesis by a DNA polymerase 
to form long single-stranded ends on the fragments. The complementary
single-strand tails then pair 
and regenerate long double-stranded DNA molecules that are processed into
the original circular genome.
