Abstract excerpt
The BRCA2 tumor suppressor has been implicated in the maintenance of genomic integrity through a function in cellular responses to DNA damage. The BRCA2 protein directly associates with Rad51, that is essential for repair of double-strand breaks (DSBs) by homologous recombination (HR). In this report, we study the BRCA2-defective Chinese hamster cell mutant V-C8 for its ability to perform homology-directed repair...
