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.

Dual DNA-binding domains shape the interaction of Brh2 with DNA

TL;DR: While the two DNA-binding regions of Brh2 appear functionally redundant in certain aspects of DNA repair, they differ in fundamental properties, and likely contribute in different ways to repair processes involving or arising from stalled DNA replication forks.

Roles of homologous recombination in response to ionizing radiation-induced DNA damage.

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of error-prone nonhomologous end-joining (NHEJ) and generally error-free homologous recombination (HR) in cellular responses to ionizing radiation was discussed.

Jumping Ahead with Sleeping Beauty: Mechanistic Insights into Cut-and-Paste Transposition.

TL;DR: In this paper, structural data on the Sleeping Beauty transposase have been obtained to enable a direct insight into the workings of this enzyme, enabling the development of novel variants of SB that offer advanced possibilities for genetic engineering due to their hyperactivity, integration deficiency or targeting capacity.

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.
