Abstract excerpt
Gene targeting (GT) is a major tool for basic and applied research during which the transforming DNA, which shares sequence homology with a chromosomal target, integrates at the corresponding locus by homologous recombination (HR). In eukaryotes, GT recruits enzymes from the HR-mediated double strand break repair pathway. Different mechanisms of HR have been described which depend on the Rad52 epistasis group of...
