This process is called non-allelic homologous recombination (NAHR; also known as ectopic HR), and is discussed below. Change in copy number involves change in the structure of the chromosomes such ...

Homologous recombination plays essential roles in the repair of DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) and collapsed replication forks. The fundamental reaction in homologous recombination is the exchange of ...

New research reveals that bacteria form species and maintain cohesion through frequent DNA exchange within species. This ...

One of the most notable examples of recombination takes place during meiosis (specifically, during prophase I), when homologous chromosomes line up in pairs and swap segments of DNA. This process ...

New research shows bacteria form distinct species and maintain cohesion through frequent DNA exchange via homologous recombination.

Molecular Cell. 1999). Whereas nonhomologous repair of DSBs is intact in these cells, homology-directed repair is significantly impaired. Homologous integration of transfected DNA is also reduced.

They found that a process called "homologous recombination" plays a major role in keeping microbial species together. Homologous recombination occurs when microbes exchange DNA with each other and ...

Published in Cell Reports Medicine, results of a VHIO-led study support the feasibility of using RAD51 testing to complement ...

However, new findings from Konstantinidis and his team suggest otherwise, positing that bacteria not only form species but also maintain cohesion within these species through mechanisms that closely ...

"When DNA damaged by radiation therapy was repaired by a method called homologous recombination, cancer cells died during the process of reproducing—a process called cell division or mitosis.

Published in Cell Reports Medicine, results of a VHIO-led study support the feasibility of using RAD51 testing to complement next-generation ...
