Hybrid Sterility Locus on Chromosome X Controls Meiotic Recombination Rate in Mouse.
Meiotic recombination safeguards proper segregation of homologous chromosomes into gametes, affects genetic variation within species, and contributes to meiotic chromosome recognition, pairing and synapsis. The Prdm9 gene has a dual role, it controls meiotic recombination by determining the genomic...
