Mnd1 has recently been identified in yeast as a key player in meiotic recombination. Here
we describe the identification and functional characterisation of the Arabidopsis homologue …

Background Pairing of homologous chromosomes at meiosis is an important requirement for
recombination and balanced chromosome segregation among the products of meiotic …

We used a functional genomics approach to identify a gene required for meiotic
recombination, YGL183c or MND1. MND1 was spliced in meiotic cells, extending the …

The hop2 mutant of Saccharomyces cerevisiae arrests in meiosis with extensive
synaptonemal complex (SC) formation between nonhomologous chromosomes. A screen …

During meiosis, each chromosome must pair with its homolog and undergo meiotic
crossover recombination in order to segregate properly at the first meiotic division …

The efficient repair of double-strand breaks (DSBs) in genomic DNA is crucial for the survival
of all organisms. Mnd1 is suggested to promote the strand invasion step during meiotic …

In yeast, the DMC1 gene is required for interhomolog recombination, which is an essential
step for bivalent formation and the correct partition of chromosomes during meiosis I. By …

Saccharomyces cerevisiae Hop2 and Mnd1 are abundant meiosisspecific chromosomal
proteins, and mutations in the corresponding genes lead to defects in meiotic recombination …

Background: While double-strand break (DSB) repair is vital to the survival of cells during
both meiosis and mitosis, the preferred mechanism of repair differs drastically between the …

MSH5, a meiosis‐specific member of the MutS‐homologue family of genes, is required for
normal levels of recombination in budding yeast, mouse and Caenorhabditis elegans. In this …
