Abstract excerpt
Homologous recombination (HR) is a DNA repair pathway that utilizes a template-based approach to repair double-strand breaks within the genome. Template use requires the exchange of individual DNA strands, which members of the RecA family of recombinases facilitate. Rad51 is a primary strand exchange factor in eukaryotes. During regular mitotic DNA repair, Rad51 is aided by the DNA translocase Rad54, which acts...
