Transgenic mice harboring direct repeat substrates reveal key underlying causes of homologous recombination in vivo.

Abstract excerpt

Homology directed repair is a critical process for maintaining the genome of mammalian cells. While considered to be relatively error free, homologous recombination (HR) can lead to insertions, deletions, translocations, and loss of heterozygosity. Furthermore, it is known that conditions that cause HR events are often carcinogenic, and that HR modulates susceptibility to cancer chemotherapeutics, making HR...
