Simple Summary: Super-resolution single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) allows the detection of cluster formation of phosphorylation sites and recruited repair proteins (e.g., MRE11) around DNA double-strand breaks induced by ionizing radiation. The spatial arrangement of these targets can be described by distance frequency distributions, which can be used as a measure for cluster size and the ratio of cluster numbers per specimen analyzed. For the analysis of the shape of clusters and their topology and similarity, persistent homology was applied and the features were compared along the DNA repair process for two different cell lines (MCF-7 breast cancer cells and CCD-1059SK human skin fibroblasts). The similarity values for components and holes were averaged for each repair time point post-irradiation so that it was possible to compare not only clusters with each other but also cell specimens of different repair periods with each other. It was shown that after X-ray irradiation, these similarity values were high for gamma H2AX clusters in the early repair phase, while MRE11 clusters revealed an increased similarity at later time points.
