Abstract excerpt
Homologous recombination plays an essential role in processes involved in genome stability/instability, such as molecular evolution, gene diversification, meiotic chromosome segregation, DNA repair and chromosomal rearrangements. p53 devoid cells exhibit predisposition to neoplasia, defects in G1 checkpoint and high genetic instability but a normal rate of point mutations. We investigated the effect of a p53...
