The mechanisms underlying somatic hypermutation (SHM) and class switch recombination (CSR) have been the subject of much debate. Recent studies from the Neuberger and Honjo labs have lent insight into these distinct processes, and we discuss a new, comprehensive model for how AID, uracil DNA glycosylase (UNG) and the mismatch repair system function in both SHM and CSR.
