Analysis of the role of homology arms in gene-targeting vectors in human cells.

Random integration of targeting vectors into the genome is the primary obstacle in human somatic cell gene targeting. Non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ), a major pathway for repairing DNA double-strand breaks, is thought to be responsible for most random integration events; however, absence of DNA li...
