Abstract excerpt
Human Rad51 (hRad51) promoted homology recognition and subsequent strand exchange are the key steps in human homologous recombination mediated repair of DNA double-strand breaks. However, it is still not clear how hRad51 deals with sequence heterology between the two homologous chromosomes in eukaryotic cells, which would lead to mismatched base pairs after strand exchange. Excessive tolerance of sequence...
