  2. Double-strand break repair model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-strand_break_repair...

    A double-strand break repair model refers to the various models of pathways that cells undertake to repair double strand-breaks (DSB). DSB repair is an important cellular process, as the accumulation of unrepaired DSB could lead to chromosomal rearrangements, tumorigenesis or even cell death. [1] In human cells, there are two main DSB repair ...

  3. Homologous recombination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homologous_recombination

    Double-strand break repair models that act via homologous recombination. Two primary models for how homologous recombination repairs double-strand breaks in DNA are the double-strand break repair (DSBR) pathway (sometimes called the double Holliday junction model) and the synthesis-dependent strand annealing (SDSA) pathway. [43]

  4. Holliday junction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holliday_junction

    An updated model by Matt Meselson and Charley Radding in 1975 introduced the idea of branch migration. [26] Further observations in the 1980s led to the proposal of alternate mechanisms for recombination such as the double-strand break model (by Jack Szostak, Frank Stahl, and others) and the single-strand annealing model. A third, the synthesis ...

  5. DNA repair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_repair

    The main double-strand break repair pathways. Double-strand breaks, in which both strands in the double helix are severed, are particularly hazardous to the cell because they can lead to genome rearrangements. In fact, when a double-strand break is accompanied by a cross-linkage joining the two strands at the same point, neither strand can be ...

  6. Synthesis-dependent strand annealing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthesis-dependent_strand...

    Synthesis-dependent strand annealing (SDSA) is a major mechanism of homology-directed repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). Although many of the features of SDSA were first suggested in 1976, [1] the double-Holliday junction model proposed in 1983 [2] was favored by many researchers. In 1994, studies of double-strand gap repair in ...

  7. Genetic recombination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_recombination

    Genetic recombination. A model of meiotic recombination, initiated by a double-strand break or gap, followed by pairing with an homologous chromosome and strand invasion to initiate the recombinational repair process. Repair of the gap can lead to crossover (CO) or non-crossover (NCO) of the flanking regions.

  8. Gene conversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_conversion

    A current model of meiotic recombination, initiated by a double-strand break or gap, followed by pairing with a homologous chromosome and strand invasion to initiate the recombinational repair process. Repair of the gap can lead to crossover (CO) or non-crossover (NCO) of the flanking regions.

  9. Heteroduplex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heteroduplex

    Heteroduplex. A current model of meiotic recombination, initiated by a double-strand break or gap, followed by pairing with a homologous chromosome and strand invasion to initiate the recombinational repair process. Repair of the gap can lead to crossover (CO) or non-crossover (NCO) of the flanking regions. CO recombination is thought to occur ...
