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.

Introducing Novel Molecular-based Method for Quantification of Homologous Recombination Efficiency

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that the PCR-based kit can be suitably employed for quantification of HR efficiency provided appropriate transfection method and reagent are used and further study is required to confirm HR efficiency status of AsPC-1 cells to ascertain the low HR efficiency detected by the kit in these cells.

Polyamines stimulate RecA-mediated recombination by condensing duplex DNA and stabilizing intermediates.

TL;DR: It is shown that natural polyamines, spermine and spermidine, condense duplex DNA, but with different efficiencies, and that addition of polyamines stimulates the duplex capture activity of RecA filament and stabilizes the intermediates with longer dwell time.

DNA Damage and Repair Mechanisms Triggered by Exposure to Bioflavonoids and Natural Compounds

TL;DR: Differences in expression and activity of proteins in major DNA repair pathways, findings of Top2 inhibition by bioflavonoids and cellular response, and how these compounds trigger alternative end-joining are presented, with implications for genome instability and human disease are presented.

Ssb2/Nabp1 is dispensable for thymic maturation, male fertility, and DNA repair in mice

TL;DR: Results show that Ssb2 is dispensable for embryogenesis and adult tissue homeostasis, including thymopoiesis, splenic development, male fertility, and DNA repair in mice.

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.
