ATR/Mec1 prevents lethal meiotic recombination initiation on partially replicated chromosomes in budding yeast

During gamete formation, crossover recombination must occur on replicated DNA to ensure proper chromosome segregation in the first meiotic division. We identified a Mec1/ATR- and Dbf4-dependent replication checkpoint in budding yeast that prevents the earliest stage of recombination, the programmed...
