Abstract excerpt
Meiotic double-strand DNA breaks (DSBs), the lesions that initiate meiotic recombination at the HIS4 recombination hot spot, occur in a region upstream of the coding sequence associated with multiple DNase I-hypersensitive sites. Mutations in transcription factors that lead to loss of the DSBs result in the loss of some but not all DNase I-hypersensitive sites in the upstream region. A meiosis-specific change in...
