Abstract excerpt
Homologous recombination, a major double strand break repair pathway, plays critical roles in maintaining genome stability. Genetic polymorphisms in HR genes have been implicated in cancer risk. We report a novel assay system for evaluating polymorphisms in human homologous recombination genes using a panel of chicken DT40 repair mutants. We established mutant cell lines complemented with either wild-type or...
