Similarly, during meiosis in the eukaryotic protist Tetrahymena Mre11 is required for repair of DNA damages, in this case double-strand breaks, by a process that likely involves homologous recombination.
De xeito similar, durante a meiose no protista eucariota Tetrahymena Mre11 é necesario para a reparación de danos no ADN, que neste caso son roturas de dobre febra, por medio dun proceso que probablemente implica recombinación homóloga.
