Homologous recombination participates in resolution of two main types of double-strand breaks (DSBs) from endogenous and exogenous sources: (A) directly produced two-ended DSBs (like the ones produced by ionizing radiation) and (B) one-ended DSBs that result from single-strand breaks (SSBs) encountering replication forks. SSBs are common intermediates in the repair of many DNA lesions.
