DSB protein complexes assembled on axes Sex chromosome segregation poses challenges to the male meiotic cell because the X and Y share only a small region of homology, the pseudoautosomal region (PAR) ...

Enlarging the focus to include organisms with novel meiotic formats would help to build a holistic view of not only pairing and HR events but also how these processes relate to chromosome ...

More recently, researchers have been able to identify some of the molecular players in meiosis from biochemical analyses of meiotic chromosomes and from genetic studies of meiosis-specific mutants.

Meiotic recombination is thus a powerful determinant of germline genome stability ... DSB repair can result in either reciprocal exchange of flanking chromosome arms (a crossover), or no exchange (a ...
