Homologous recombination requires the formation of heteroduplex DNA consisting of one nucleotide strand from each of two homologous chromosomes. In the Holliday model, homologous recombination is accomplished through a single-strand break in the DNA, strand displacement, and branch migration. In the double-strand-break model, recombination is accomplished through double-strand breaks, strand displacement, and branch migration.
