Abstract excerpt
Meiotic crossover (CO) recombination initiates from programmed DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) around hotspots, and results in reciprocal exchange of chromosome segments between homologous chromosomes (homologs). COs are crucial for most sexually-reproducing organisms because they promote accurate chromosome segregation and create genetic diversity. Therefore, faithful accomplishment of CO formation is ensured in...
