High-resolution mapping of heteroduplex DNA formed during UV-induced and spontaneous mitotic recombination events in yeast. [PDF]
In yeast, DNA breaks are usually repaired by homologous recombination (HR). An early step for HR pathways is formation of a heteroduplex, in which a single-strand from the broken DNA molecule pairs with a strand derived from an intact DNA molecule.

Genome-wide high-resolution mapping of UV-induced mitotic recombination events in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. [PDF]
In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and most other eukaryotes, mitotic recombination is important for the repair of double-stranded DNA breaks (DSBs). Mitotic recombination between homologous chromosomes can result in loss of heterozygosity (LOH).

Vitamin B12 protects against DNA damage induced by hydrochlorothiazide
DNA damage induced by hydrochlorothiazide was previously reported in cultured human lymphocytes. In this study, we aimed to investigate the harmful effects of hydrochlorothiazide on DNA by measuring the spontaneous frequency of sister chromatid exchanges

Chromosome segregation in plant meiosis [PDF]
Faithful chromosome segregation in meiosis is essential for ploidy stability over sexual life cycles. In plants, defective chromosome segregation caused by gene mutations or other factors leads to the formation of unbalanced or unreduced gametes creating

Meiotic DNA exchanges in C. elegans are promoted by proximity to the synaptonemal complex
Exchanges between DNA molecules during meiosis are tightly controlled. This work shows that the synaptonemal complex is instrumental in regulating meiotic exchanges both between the parental chromosomes and between the sister chromatids.

Double-strand break repair and homologous recombination in Schizosaccharomyces pombe [PDF]
In recent years our understanding of double strand break repair and homologous recombination in Schizosaccharomyces pombe has increased significantly, and the identification of novel pathways and genes with homologues in higher eukaryotes has increased ...
