Monitoring homologous recombination following replication fork perturbation in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe.

Replication forks (RFs) frequently encounter barriers or lesions in template DNA that can cause them to stall and/or break. Efficient genome duplication therefore depends on multiple mechanisms that variously act to stabilize, repair, and restart perturbed RFs. Integral to at least some of these mec...
