How RNA transcripts coordinate DNA recombination and repair

Homologous recombination (HR) typically uses DNA as a donor template to accurately repair DNA breaks. Here, the authors elucidate two mechanisms by which RAD52 uses RNA as a template for HR: one involving RNA-mediated synapsis of a homologous DNA break, and the other involving reverse transcriptase...
