A new thermosensitive smc-3 allele reveals involvement of cohesin in homologous recombination in C. elegans.

The cohesin complex is required for the cohesion of sister chromatids and for correct segregation during mitosis and meiosis. Crossover recombination, together with cohesion, is essential for the disjunction of homologous chromosomes during the first meiotic division. Cohesin has been implicated in...
