A function for subtelomeric DNA in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Arnold B Barton et al. Genetics. 2003 Oct.

Abstract

The subtelomeric DNA sequences from chromosome I of Saccharomyces cerevisiae are shown to be inherently poor substrates for meiotic recombination. On the basis of these results and prior observations that crossovers near telomeres do not promote efficient meiosis I segregation, we suggest that subtelomeric sequences evolved to prevent recombination from occurring where it cannot promote efficient segregation.
