Abstract: Meiotic crossover (CO) recombination initiates from programmed DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) around hotspots, and results in reciprocal exchange of chromosome segments between homologous chromosomes (homologs). COs are crucial for most sexually-reproducing organisms because it promotes… read more here.

Abstract: Meiotic crossover patterning shows huge variation within and between chromosomes, individuals, and species, yet the molecular and evolutionary causes and consequences of this variation remain poorly understood. A key step is to understand the genetic… read more here.

Abstract: Meiotic crossovers, which are exchanges of genetic material between homologous chromosomes, are more evenly and distantly spaced along chromosomes than expected by chance. This is because the occurrence of one crossover reduces the likelihood of… read more here.
