One of the most notable examples of recombination takes place during meiosis (specifically, during prophase I), when homologous chromosomes line up in pairs and swap segments of DNA. This process ...

Homologous recombination plays essential roles in the repair of DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) and collapsed replication forks. The fundamental reaction in homologous recombination is the exchange of ...

In summary, the novel approach proved effective and robust in the field of homologous protein search. Its ability to accurately identify remote homology pairs with distinct sequences but similar ...
