From meiosis to postmeiotic events: Uncovering the molecular roles of the meiosis‐specific recombinase Dmc1
15 Dec 2009
Abstract excerpt
In meiosis, the accurate segregation of maternal and paternal chromosomes is accomplished by homologous recombination. A central player in meiotic recombination is the Dmc1 recombinase, a member of the RecA/Rad51 recombinase superfamily, which is widely conserved from viruses to humans. Dmc1 is a meiosis-specific protein that functions with the ubiquitously expressed homolog, the Rad51 recombinase, which is...
