Non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) and Homologous recombination repair (HRR) are important DNA repair mechanisms in the mammals. With diagrams, explain how the repairs are carried out in NHEJ and HRR. Are they completely independent pathways? Justify your answer with specific examples.

DNA shuffling is a method for in vitro homologous recombination of pools of selected mutant genes by random fragmentation and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) reassembly. In our class, we went through a paper describing the evolution of four cephalosporinase from various species. The paper showed that a single cycle of shuffling yielded 8-fold improvements from the four separately evolved genes, versus a 270- to 540-fold improvement from the four genes shuffled together (so called family shuffling). Discuss how this result...
