Homologous recombination (HR) maintains genome stability by repairing DNA double-strand breaks and gaps and restarting replication forks. It is an error-free pathway that uses a homologous sequence in the genome to copy the damaged genetic information. In the present chapter, we will discuss in detail the mechanism by which HR operates to maintain genome stability as revealed by studies predominantly performed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We will then discuss the similarities and dissimilarities between yeast and humans while emphasizing the importance of HR in suppressing carcinogenesis and as a potential therapeutic target.
