Question

What are the steps of Homologous recombination during DNA repair?

Expert Solution

Step 1: Introduction:

Homologous recombination (HR) is a high-fidelity DNA repair pathway that plays a vital role in maintaining genomic stability and cell viability. HR is particularly important for repairing double-strand breaks (DSBs), which are the most severe type of DNA damage. The steps of HR during DNA repair are complex and involve many different proteins and enzymes. However, the basic premise of HR is to use a homologous DNA sequence as a template to repair damaged DNA. HR is an essential process for maintaining human health and well-being. Mutations in genes encoding HR proteins can lead to increased sensitivity to DNA damage and an increased risk of cancer.
