Abstract excerpt
Meiotic recombination is of central importance for the proper segregation of homologous chromosomes, but also for creating genetic diversity. It is initiated by the formation of double-strand breaks (DSBs) in DNA catalysed by evolutionarily conserved Spo11, together with additional protein partners. Difficulties in purifying the Spo11 protein have limited the characterization of its biochemical properties and of...
