Abstract excerpt
Homologous recombination is an important DNA repair mechanism in vegetative cells. During the repair of double-strand breaks, genetic information is transferred between the interacting DNA sequences (gene conversion). This event is often accompanied by a reciprocal exchange between the homologous molecules, resulting in crossing over. The repair of DNA damage by homologous recombination with repeated sequences...
