Microhomology-mediated end joining — (MMEJ) is one of the pathways for repairing double strand breaks in DNA. Two other well known means of double strand breakage repair are non homologous end joining and homologous recombination. MMEJ is distinguished from the other repair… … Wikipedia
DNA repair — For the journal, see DNA Repair (journal). DNA damage resulting in multiple broken chromosomes DNA repair refers to a collection of processes by which a cell identifies and corrects damage to the DNA molecules that encode its genome. In human… … Wikipedia
Non-homologous end joining — (NHEJ) is a pathway that repairs double strand breaks in DNA. NHEJ is referred to as non homologous because the break ends are directly ligated without the need for a homologous template, in contrast to homologous recombination, which requires a… … Wikipedia
