Abstract excerpt
In S. pombe strains mutant for rec15 aberrant ascus morphology, reduced spore viability and severe reduction of meiotic recombination was detected. Genetic and cytological analysis identified frequent interruption of meiosis after the first division, and nondisjunction I, as the main segregation errors in the mutant. Chromosome segregation at meiosis I was not random in rec15, suggesting the presence of a backup...
