Nucleotide excision repair is the primary DNA repair mechanism that removes bulky DNA adducts such as UV-induced pyrimidine dimers. Correspondingly, genome-wide mapping of nucleotide excision repair with eXcision Repair sequencing (XR-seq), provides comprehensive pro ling of DNA damage repair. A number of XR-seq experiments at a variety of conditions for di erent damage types revealed heterogenous repair in the human genome. Although human repair pro les were extensively studied, how repair maps vary between primates is yet to be investigated. Here, we characterized the genome-wide UV-induced damage repair in gray mouse lemur,Microcebus murinus, in comparison to human. Mouse lemurs are strictly nocturnal, are the world's smallest living primates, and last shared a common ancestor with humans at least 60 million years ago. We derived broblast cell lines from mouse lemur, exposed them to UV irradiation. The following repair events were captured genome-wide through the XR-seq protocol. Mouse lemur repair pro les were analyzed in comparison to the equivalent human broblast datasets. We found that overall UV sensitivity, repair e ciency, and transcription-coupled repair levels di er between the two primates. Despite this, comparative analysis of human and mouse lemur broblasts revealed that genome-wide repair pro les of the homologous regions are highly correlated. This correlation is stronger for the highly expressed genes. With the inclusion of an additional XR-seq sample derived from another human cell line in the analysis, we found that broblasts of the two primates repair UV-induced DNA lesions in a more similar pattern than two distinct human cell lines do. Our results suggest that mouse lemurs and humans, and possibly primates in general, share a homologous repair mechanism as well as genomic variance distribution, albeit with their variable repair e ciency. This result also emphasizes the deep homologies of individual tissue types across the eukaryotic phylogeny.
