Our Cell paper with Eric Greene @DNACurtain came out last week. It explains how RAD54 functions with RPA to promote RAD51-mediated DNA sequence alignment during HR, consistent with predictions of our 2000 Mol Cell paper and 2003 JBC review. https://t.co/wdzgTyRPm2

Eva Galvan is a Radiation Oncology resident who is using her elective months to study mechanisms of recombination in our lab. Fun fact - Eva went to Yale as an undergrad and took Patrick's Principles of Biochemistry course back in 2009!
