Abstract excerpt
During meiosis, crossovers occur at a high level, but the level of noncrossover recombinants is even higher. The biological rationale for the existence of the latter events is not known. It has been suggested that a noncrossover-specific pathway exists specifically to mediate chromosome pairing. Using a physical assay that monitors both crossovers and noncrossovers in cultures of yeast undergoing synchronous...
