Diedre Reitz, Ph.D., a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics at UC Davis, will be giving a seminar on Monday, March 23, at 4:00pm in Kollros Auditorium (Room 101), Biology Building East (BBE).

Summary: Homologous recombination is a ubiquitous and normally high-fidelity pathway to repair and tolerate DNA damage. In this talk, I will describe recent work on mechanisms promoting and conversely limiting non-allelic recombination and their impacts on genome stability and implications to human cancer.
