Genetic Recombination Appears to be Common in the Human Genome

When the genomes of parents come together to create the genome of a child, their DNA recombines; similar parts are rearranged so that a child carries sections of their parents genomes that have been ...

Finding a match: how do homologous sequences get together for recombination?

Homologous recombination (HR) is a universal DNA repair mechanism that faithfully restores genomic integrity following double-strand breaks (DSBs) in DNA. The details concerning the transfer of ...
