Abstract excerpt
Homologous recombination can result in the transfer of genetic information from one DNA molecule to another (gene conversion). These events are often accompanied by a reciprocal exchange between the interacting molecules (termed "crossing over"). This association suggests that the two types of events could be mechanistically related. We have analyzed the repair, by homologous recombination, of a broken chromosome...
