The raison d'être of meiosis is shuffling of genetic information via Mendelian segregation
and, within individual chromosomes, by DNA crossing-over. These outcomes are enabled …

The study of homologous recombination has its historical roots in meiosis. In this context,
recombination occurs as a programmed event that culminates in the formation of crossovers …

Recombination is a prominent feature of meiosis in which it plays an important role in
increasing genetic diversity during inheritance. Additionally, in most organisms …

In this review, we discuss the repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) using a
homologous DNA sequence (ie, homologous recombination [HR]), focusing mainly on yeast …

Meiosis is the cell division that reshuffles genetic information between generations.
Recently, much progress has been made in understanding this process; in particular, the …

Homology-dependent exchange of genetic information between DNA molecules has a
profound impact on the maintenance of genome integrity by facilitating error-free DNA …

Meiotic recombination initiates from DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) generated by SPO11
topoisomerase-like complexes. Meiotic DSB frequency varies extensively along eukaryotic …

To cause rice blast disease, the fungus Magnaporthe oryzae develops a pressurized dome-
shaped cell called an appressorium, which physically ruptures the leaf cuticle to gain entry …

Four-way DNA intermediates, called Holliday junctions (HJs), can form during meiotic and
mitotic recombination, and their removal is crucial for chromosome segregation. A group of …

The number of meiotic crossovers (COs) is tightly regulated within a narrow range, despite a
large excess of molecular precursors. The factors that limit COs remain largely unknown …
