Abstract excerpt
During Drosophila oogenesis, the oocyte is formed within a 16-cell cyst immediately after four incomplete cell divisions. One of the primary events in oocyte development is meiotic recombination. Here, we report the intracellular localization of the MEI-218 protein that is specifically required for meiotic crossing-over. To understand the role of mei-218 in meiosis and to study the regulation of genes required...
