The movie shows images of two cell nuclei which contain a gfp-tagged DNA repair protein (XRCC1). The lower cell nucleus was microbeam-irradiated in the pattern of the Columbia University Crown, and imaged are DNA repair foci lighting up at the locations of the DNA damage (cells courtesy of David Chen).
