Probing meiotic recombination decisions

Ignasi Roig et al. Dev Cell. 2008 Sep.

Abstract

Meiotic recombination promotes genetic variation by mixing parental alleles. Two recent studies, one in this issue of Developmental Cell, have applied microarray-based methods that allow analysis of nearly all of the recombination events occurring in a single meiosis. These data provide insights into the molecular "decisions" that control the outcome of the recombination process.
