Crystal structure of the REC114-TOPOVIBL complex. Descriptor: Meiotic recombination protein REC114, Type 2 DNA topoisomerase 6 subunit B-like Authors: Juarez-Martinez, A.B, Robert, T, de Massy, B, Kad
SPO11 generates hundreds of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) to initiate meiotic recombination. Heritability and genome stability are shaped by the nonrandom distribution of DSBs, but mechanisms moldin
The meiosis-specific HOP1 gene is important both for crossing over between homologs and for production of viable spores. hop1 diploids fail to assemble synaptonemal complex (SC), which normally provid
DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are introduced in meiosis to initiate recombination and to generate crossovers, the reciprocal exchanges of genetic material between parental chromosomes. Here we prese
Aspergillus nidulans is a holomorphic fungus, capable of producing both meiotically and mitotically derived spores. Meiosis may be an evolutionary relic in this species because it is potentially capab
