Direct and indirect control of the initiation of meiotic recombination by DNA damage checkpoint mechanisms in budding yeast.
Meiotic recombination plays an essential role in the proper segregation of chromosomes at meiosis I in many sexually reproducing organisms. Meiotic recombination is initiated by the scheduled formation of genome-wide DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). The timing of DSB formation is strictly controlled...
