This close association between homologs during synapsis facilitates crossover formation, the process in which double strand breaks (DSBs) are deliberately introduced into the genome, repaired by ...

Given the importance of interference in spacing chiasmata, the presently unknown molecular basis for interference is the likely target for such evolutionary selection. These observations raise ...

At pachytene, synapsis was completed as SYCP3 and SYCP1 completely colocalized. At diplotene, SCs disassembled, and SYCP1 were lost from separated SYCP3-labelled axes, but homologous chromosomes ...
