In other words, inducing a double-strand break at a specific chromosomal location promoted high-frequency homologous recombination.

DNA Double-Strand Break Resection Occurs during Non-homologous End Joining in G1 but Is Distinct from Resection during Homologous Recombination. Molecular Cell, 2017; DOI: 10.1016/j.molcel.2016.12.016 ...

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have been studying DNA repair by homologous recombination, where the RecA protein repairs breaks in double-stranded DNA by incorporating a dangling ...

Despite its relative simplicity, the method presented allows both the quantitative and qualitative description of radiation-induced DNA fragmentation and subsequent rejoining of double-stranded DNA ...
