Researchers have revealed the structural mechanisms of a major DNA repair pathway in human cells. The research, published today as a Reviewed Preprint in eLife, is described by the editors as a ...
Homologous recombination (HR) is central to the template-based repair of DNA double-strand breaks, maintaining genome integrity 1,2,3,4. A central reaction in HR is the strand exchange, in which the ...
Homologous recombination (HR) is a ubiquitous and efficient process that serves the repair of severe forms of DNA damage and the generation of genetic diversity during meiosis. HR can proceed via ...
