In Vitro Reconstitution of SPO11-Mediated DNA Cleavage Sheds New Light on the Initiation of Meiotic Recombination
{{output}}
Three recent studies report the first biochemical reconstitution of DNA double-strand break (DSB) formation by SPO11, the topoisomerase-derived transesterase that initiates meiotic recombination in sexually reproducing organisms. A central conclusion of these ... ...
