Extensive Chromosomal Instability in <i>Rad51d</i>-Deficient Mouse Cells

Abstract excerpt

Homologous recombination is a double-strand break repair pathway required for resistance to DNA damage and maintaining genomic integrity. In mitotically dividing vertebrate cells, the primary proteins involved in homologous recombination repair are RAD51 and the five RAD51 paralogs, RAD51B, RAD51C, RAD51D, XRCC2, and XRCC3. In the absence of Rad51d, human and mouse cells fail to proliferate, and mice defective...
