Condensin(g) crossover control to a few breaks

Abstract

Meiotic chromosome pairs must receive at least one crossover to ensure proper segregation at the first meiotic division. Mets and Meyer (2009) now present compelling evidence that the establishment of higher-order chromosome structure by a condensin complex regulates crossover recombination by controlling the distribution and frequency of meiotic double-strand breaks.
