Human recombination repair

Homologous recombination repair (HHR) is a DNA repair mechanism that removes damaged DNA by acting on double-strand breaks, interstrand crosslinks, and other kinds of DNA damage.1 DNA damage is repaired with high fidelity by correcting damage with information copied from a homologous undamaged molecule.2 Defects in HRR are present in some cancers.3
