TLDR
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.read more

TL;DR: It is suggested that HSP90 inhibition can be a safe, simple and efficient approach to improving hyperthermia treatment efficacy and reducing thermotolerance, paving the way for in vivo studies.

Resection Activity of the Sgs1 Helicase Alters the Affinity of DNA Ends for Homologous Recombination Proteins in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

TL;DR: Using yeast, it is shown that the separation-of-function allele of SGS1, sgs1-D664Δ, has impaired activity at DNA ends, resulting in a resection processivity defect, and a model is suggested where the role of Sgs1 in end resection along with Sae2 is important for removing Mre11 from DNA ends during repair.

Optical Manipulation of CRISPR/Cas9 Functions: From Ultraviolet to Near-Infrared Light
TL;DR: Optical manipulation has been widely exploited as a non-invasive and precise means for a wide range of biomedical applications, such as controlled drug release and neuron activation.
Journal ArticleDOI
ATRX and RECQ5 define distinct homologous recombination subpathways
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the ATRX-dependent homologous recombination (HR) pathway outcompetes RECQ5-dependent synthesis-dependent strand annealing (SDSA) for the repair of most two-ended DSBs in human cells.

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.

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.
