Abstract excerpt
In situ hybridization was used to examine chromosome behavior at meiotic prophase in the rad50S, hop1, rad50, and spo11 mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which are defective in chromosome synapsis and meiotic recombination. Painting of chromosomes I and III revealed that chromosome condensation and pairing are reduced in these mutants. However, there is some residual pairing in meiosis, suggesting that...
