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 …

During meiosis, a programmed induction of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) leads to the
exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes. These exchanges …

Meiosis, the mechanism of creating haploid gametes, is a complex cellular process
observed across sexually reproducing organisms. Fundamental to meiosis is the process of …

Meiosis halves diploid chromosome numbers to haploid levels that are essential for sexual
reproduction in most eukaryotes. Meiotic recombination ensures the formation of bivalents …

Spermatogenesis, a study of germ cell development, is a long, orderly, and well‐defined
process occurring in seminiferous tubules of the testis. It is a temporal event whereby …

Meiosis produces haploid gametes through a succession of chromosomal events, including
pairing, synapsis, and recombination. Mechanisms that orchestrate these events remain …

During meiosis, homologous chromosomes undergo crossover recombination, which
creates genetic diversity and balances homolog segregation. Despite these critical …

Crossovers (COs) between homologous chromosomes ensure their faithful segregation
during meiosis. We identify C. elegans COSA-1, a cyclin-related protein conserved in …

Crossing-over ensures accurate chromosome segregation during meiosis, and every pair of
chromosomes obtains at least one crossover, even though the majority of recombination …

Accurate segregation of homologous chromosomes during meiosis depends on the ability of
meiotic cells to promote reciprocal exchanges between parental DNA strands, known as …
