    DNA-driven condensation assembles the meiotic DNA break machinery

    The accurate segregation of chromosomes during meiosis—which is critical for genome stability across sexual cycles—relies on homologous recombination initiated by DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) made by the Sp...

    Structural and functional characterization of the Spo11 core complex

    Spo11, which makes DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) that are essential for meiotic recombination, has long been recalcitrant to biochemical study. We provide molecular analysis of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Spo11 pu...
