RAD51 in homologous recombination-mediated DNA damage repair and genome stability: Mechanisms, regulation and implications for disease
Homologous recombination (HR) is a high-fidelity DNA repair pathway that preserves genome stability through the accurate repair of DNA double-strand breaks. RAD51 is the central recombinase of HR and catalyzes the key processes of homology search and strand invasion through the formation of nucleoprotein filaments on s...
