Meiotic recombination: insights into its mechanisms and its role in human reproduction with a special focus on non-obstructive azoospermia
6 May 2022
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Meiosis is an essential stage in the life cycle of sexually reproducing species, underlying formation of haploid gametes and serving as the basis of genetic diversity. A central mechanism of meiosis is recombination between homologous chromosomes, during which programmed DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are sequentially repaired to form the crossovers essential for faithful chromosomal segregation....
