Hotspots for Initiation of Meiotic Recombination
Homologous chromosomes must pair and recombine to ensure faithful chromosome segregation during meiosis, a specialized type of cell division that occurs in sexually reproducing eukaryotes. Meiotic recombination initiates by programmed induction of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) by the conserved typ...
