What makes homologous chromosomes find each other in meiosis? A review and an hypothesis.

Chromosoma - 1 Aug 1999

Sybenga J

Abstract excerpt

The conditions re reviewed that must be met by any model of long distance attraction and transport of homologous chromosomes to the points of intimate DNA synapsis. A proposal for possible mechanisms is presented. It includes transcription and repair factors acting on coding sequences as a preparatory step toward pairing, and the attachment of specific pairing proteins to these sequences. Double-strand break...
