DNA recombination : a subject collection from Cold Spring Harbor perspectives in biology /

Recombination mechanisms allow cells to break and reattach DNA sequences. They are important for repair of damaged DNA. They also help generate additional genetic diversity in sperm and eggs cells by mixing DNA sequences from maternal and paternal chromosomes. This volume explores the molecular deta...

Description
Summary:Recombination mechanisms allow cells to break and reattach DNA sequences. They are important for repair of damaged DNA. They also help generate additional genetic diversity in sperm and eggs cells by mixing DNA sequences from maternal and paternal chromosomes. This volume explores the molecular details of recombination and their roles in genome maintenance and meiosis.
