These systems do have differences in length of homology available for repair, because the longest homologous sequence is in the DR- white system (1.97 kb), followed by the reported yeast HR system (1.2 kb) and mammalian system (0.74 kb).
"Both sides believe that there will be some sort of a slotting type system which will reduce in length and volume the deals that top choices get," he said.
