2008 journal article

Enhancement of extra chromosomal recombination in somatic cells by affecting the ratio of homologous recombination (HR) to non-homologous end joining (NHEJ)

ANIMAL BIOTECHNOLOGY, 19(1), 6–21.

By: G. Zaunbrecher*, B. Mir*, P. Dunne n, M. Breen n & J. Piedrahita n

author keywords: extra chromosomal; homologous recombination; somatic cells
MeSH headings : Acetyltransferases / genetics; Animals; Cell Physiological Phenomena; Chromosomes / genetics; DNA Primers; DNA Repair; Plasmids; Recombination, Genetic; Swine; Tumor Suppressor Protein p53 / genetics
TL;DR: Results show that attempts at reducing NHEJ by use of Mre11 or anti-Ku aptamers were unsuccessful, and cell synchrony via thymidine incorporation does increase the ratio of HR/NHEJ and this indicates that this approach may be of use to facilitate targeting in somatic cells by reducing the numbers of colonies that need to be analyzed before a HR is identified.
