Meiotic recombination modulates the structure and dynamics of the synaptonemal complex during C. elegans meiosis.

During meiotic prophase, a structure called the synaptonemal complex (SC) assembles at the interface between aligned pairs of homologous chromosomes, and crossover recombination events occur between their DNA molecules. Here we investigate the inter-relationships between these two hallmark features...
