Abstract excerpt
During meiotic prophase the repair of self-inflicted DNA double-strand break (DSB) damage leads to meiotic recombination in yeast. We employed a genetic screen to specifically characterize cellular functions that become essential after this DSB formation. As a result a new allele of MRE11, termed mre11S (for Separation of functions) was isolated that allows initiation but not processing and repair of meiotic DSBs...
