Mechanisms of Recombination between Diverged Sequences in Wild-Type and BLM-Deficient Mouse and Human Cells
12 Feb 2010
Abstract excerpt
Double-strand breaks (DSBs) are particularly deleterious DNA lesions for which cells have developed multiple mechanisms of repair. One major mechanism of DSB repair in mammalian cells is homologous recombination (HR), whereby a homologous donor sequence is used as a template for repair. For this reason, HR repair of DSBs is also being exploited for gene modification in possible therapeutic approaches. HR is...
