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 ...
DNA double-strand breaks occur daily in all human cells and must be repaired with high fidelity to minimize genomic instability. Deficiencies in high-fidelity DNA repair by homologous recombination ...
The Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is a technique for the amplification of DNA in vitro (this describes experiments with cells outside their normal environment). PCR amplifies DNA using complementary ...
DNA replication is the process by which a cell makes an identical copy of its DNA. This process is performed at the beginning of every cell division so that when the cell divides, each daughter cell ...
