The enzymology of the process is discussed, followed by studies on DSB repair in living cells, and a historical context for the current view of HR is provided and how DSBs are processed during HR as well as interactions with other D SB repair pathways are described.
Abstract
In this review, we discuss the repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) using a homologous DNA sequence (i.e., homologous recombination [HR]), focusing mainly on yeast and mammals. We provide a historical context for the current view of HR and describe how DSBs are processed during HR as well as interactions with other DSB repair pathways. We discuss the enzymology of the process, followed by studies on DSB repair in living cells. Whenever possible, we cite both original articles and reviews to aid the reader for further studies.

Yeast ATM and ATR use different mechanisms to spread histone H2A phosphorylation around a DNA double-strand break

TL;DR: Bayesian model selection indicates that Mec1 primarily uses a 3D diffusive mechanism, whereas Tel1 undergoes directed motion along the chromatin, which is more efficient than Tel1 at phosphorylating chromatin in trans – at distant undamaged sites that are brought into physical proximity to the DSB.

Factors modifying cellular response to ionizing radiation

Lei Cheng
TL;DR: In this article, many physical factors influence the biological effect of exposure to ionizing radiation, including radiation quality, dose rate and temperature, and they focus on how these factors influence t...

Maintenance of genetic and epigenetic stability during dna double-strand break repair and dna replication

TL;DR: The role of the conserved SWI/SNF ATP-dependent nucleosome remodeler in the repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) in yeast is examined and it is demonstrated that SWI-SNF facilitates the actions of the MRX.

CRISPR/CAS9-Mediated Gene Editing in Herda Equine

TL;DR: A single guide RNA was designed to direct CRISPR/Cas9 to induce double strand breaks 15 nucleotides downstream of the mutation which achieved very efficient insertions or deletions (indels) (~90%) and reverse compliment single-stranded donor oligonucleotide as well as a small 100nt.

A programmable dual-RNA-guided DNA endonuclease in adaptive bacterial immunity.

TL;DR: This study reveals a family of endonucleases that use dual-RNAs for site-specific DNA cleavage and highlights the potential to exploit the system for RNA-programmable genome editing.

Multiplex Genome Engineering Using CRISPR/Cas Systems

TL;DR: The type II prokaryotic CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats)/Cas adaptive immune system has been shown to facilitate RNA-guided site-specific DNA cleavage as discussed by the authors.

Multiplex Genome Engineering Using CRISPR/Cas Systems

TL;DR: Two different type II CRISPR/Cas systems are engineered and it is demonstrated that Cas9 nucleases can be directed by short RNAs to induce precise cleavage at endogenous genomic loci in human and mouse cells, demonstrating easy programmability and wide applicability of the RNA-guided nuclease technology.

Efficient genome editing in zebrafish using a CRISPR-Cas system

TL;DR: It is shown that the CRISPR-Cas system functions in vivo to induce targeted genetic modifications in zebrafish embryos with efficiencies similar to those obtained using zinc finger nucleases and transcription activator-like effector nucleases.
