DNA Recombination & Repair
DNA recombination is process that facilitates propagation of the genome across generations and that provides variation within a species. DNA repair is a mechanism for cells to repair damage to DNA caused by internal or external forces in order to maintain genome stability. Our laboratories use ground-breaking technologies to define the molecular machinery involve in DNA recombination and repair, and to determine the source and quantity of genomic variation. These studies have applications to foundational knowledge in molecular and cellular biology, for understanding disease mechanisms including cancer, and for developing technologies applicable to both basic science and therapeutics.
