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 …

Meiotic recombination involves the formation and repair of programmed DNA double-strand
breaks (DSBs) catalyzed by the conserved Spo11 protein. This review summarizes recent …

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

The nonrandom distribution of meiotic recombination influences patterns of inheritance and
genome evolution, but chromosomal features governing this distribution are poorly …

Meiotic recombination is essential for fertility in most sexually reproducing species. This
process also creates new combinations of alleles and has important consequences for …

Homology search and DNA strand–exchange reactions are central to homologous
recombination in meiosis. During meiosis, these processes are regulated such that the …

The genus Trichoderma contains fungi with high relevance for humans, with applications in
enzyme production for plant cell wall degradation and use in biocontrol. Here, we provide a …

Humans suffer from high rates of fetal aneuploidy, often arising from the absence of meiotic
crossover recombination between homologous chromosomes. Meiotic recombination is …

Knowledge of the exact distribution of meiotic crossovers (COs) and gene conversions
(GCs) is essential for understanding many aspects of population genetics and evolution …
