Enriched GO terms in this set:

GO:0008150 (biological_process)
"Those processes specifically pertinent to the functioning of integrated living units: cells, tissues, organs, and organisms. A process is a collection of molecular events with a defined beginning and end."

    GO:0009987 (cellular process)
    "Processes that are carried out at the cellular level, but are not necessarily restricted to a single cell. For example, cell communication occurs among more than one cell, but occurs at the cellular level."

        GO:0044237 (cellular metabolic process)
        "The chemical reactions and pathways by which individual cells transform chemical substances."

            GO:0006139 (nucleobase, nucleoside, nucleotide and nucleic acid metabolic process)
            "The chemical reactions and pathways involving nucleobases, nucleosides, nucleotides and nucleic acids."

                GO:0006259 (DNA metabolic process)
                "The chemical reactions and pathways involving DNA, deoxyribonucleic acid, one of the two main types of nucleic acid, consisting of a long, unbranched macromolecule formed from one, or more commonly, two, strands of linked deoxyribonucleotides."

                    GO:0006310 (DNA recombination) [p = 0.003   (4/62: RAD51; XRS2; RAD54; MRE11)]
                    "The processes by which a new genotype is formed by reassortment of genes resulting in gene combinations different from those that were present in the parents. In eukaryotes genetic recombination can occur by chromosome assortment, intrachromosomal recombination, or nonreciprocal interchromosomal recombination. Intrachromosomal recombination occurs by crossing over. In bacteria it may occur by genetic transformation, conjugation, transduction, or F-duction."

                        GO:0000725 (recombinational repair) [p < 0.001   (4/18: RAD51; XRS2; RAD54; MRE11)]
                        "The repair of damaged DNA that involves the exchange, reciprocal or nonreciprocal, of genetic material between the broken DNA molecule and a homologous region of DNA."

                            GO:0000724 (double-strand break repair via homologous recombination) [p < 0.001   (4/16: RAD51; XRS2; RAD54; MRE11)]
                            "The error-free repair of a double-strand break in DNA in which the broken DNA molecule is repaired using homologous sequences. A strand in the broken DNA searches for a homologous region in an intact chromosome to serve as the template for DNA synthesis. The restoration of two intact DNA molecules results in the exchange, reciprocal or nonreciprocal, of genetic material between the intact DNA molecule and the broken DNA molecule."

                                GO:0045003 (double-strand break repair via synthesis-dependent strand annealing) [p = 0.002   (3/10: RAD51; RAD54; MRE11)]
                                "SDSA is a major mechanism of double-strand break repair in mitosis which allows for the error-free repair of a double-strand break without the exchange of adjacent sequences. The broken DNA searches for and base pairs with a homologous region in an intact chromosome. DNA synthesis initiates from the 3' end of the invading DNA strand, using the intact chromosome as the template. Newly synthesized DNA is then displaced from the template and anneal with its complement on the other side of the double-strand break."
