Features like spectacular regeneration capacity, peculiar tissue dynamics, continuous pattern formation, unique evolutionary position, and an apparent lack of organismal senescence make hydra an intriguing animal to study. While a large body of work has taken place, particularly in the domain of evolutionary developmental biology of hydra, in recent years, the focus has shifted to molecular mechanisms underlying various phenomena. DNA repair is a fundamental cellular process that helps to maintain integrity of the genome through multiple repair pathways found across taxa, from archaea to higher animals. DNA repair capacity and senescence are known to be closely associated, with mutations in several repair pathways leading to premature ageing phenotypes. Analysis of DNA repair in an animal like hydra could offer clues into several aspects including hydra\u2019s purported lack of organismal ageing, evolution of DNA repair systems in metazoa, and alternative functions of repair proteins. We review here the different DNA repair mechanisms known so far in hydra. Hydra genes from various DNA repair pathways show very high similarity with their vertebrate orthologues, indicating conservation at the level of sequence, structure, and function. Notably, most hydra repair genes are more similar to deuterostome counterparts than to common model invertebrates, hinting at ancient evolutionary origins of repair pathways and further highlighting the relevance of organisms like hydra as model systems. It appears that hydra has the full repertoire of DNA repair pathways, which are employed in stress as well as normal physiological conditions and may have a link with its observed lack of senescence. The close correspondence of hydra repair genes with higher vertebrates further demonstrates the need for deeper studies of various repair components, their interconnections, and functions in this early metazoan.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fgene.2021.670695","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,29]],"date-time":"2021-04-29T13:21:28Z","timestamp":1619702488000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["DNA Repair Repertoire of the Enigmatic Hydra"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Apurva","family":"Barve","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alisha A.","family":"Galande","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Saroj S.","family":"Ghaskadbi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Surendra","family":"Ghaskadbi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"859","DOI":"10.1016\/0092-8674(95)90289-9","article-title":"Mammalian DNA nucleotide excision repair reconstituted with purified protein components","volume":"80","author":"Aboussekhra","year":"1995","journal-title":"Cell"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"5082","DOI":"10.1128\/MCB.00293-08","article-title":"ERCC1-XPF endonuclease facilitates DNA double-strand break repair","volume":"28","author":"Ahmad","year":"2008","journal-title":"Mol.
