Abstract excerpt
Meiotic recombination is tightly regulated by cis- and trans-acting factors. Although DNA methylation and chromatin remodeling affect chromosome structure, their impact on meiotic recombination is not well understood. To study the effect of DNA methylation on the landscape of chromosomal recombination, we analyzed meiotic recombination in the decreased DNA methylation 1 (ddm1) mutant. DDM1 is a SWI2/SNF2-like...
