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.

Characterization of a novel DNA binding domain in the N-terminus of BRCA2 and evaluation of BRCA2 variants identified in breast cancer patients in the same region

TL;DR: This work revealed a novel DNA binding domain in the N-terminus of BRCA2 that, in contrast to the CT-DBD, can associate with dsDNA and promote RAD51 recombination activity and proposes that the NT-DBd positions RAD51 at the ssDNA/dsDNA junction facilitating RAD51 loading onto the RPA-coated ssDNA.

Noncanonical Roles of RAD51

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors present and discuss the different non-canonical roles of RAD51, whose presence does not automatically result in an HR event, revealing the multiple faces of this prominent actor in genomic plasticity.

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.
