摘要
Meiosis is distinguished from mitosis by the way double-strand breaks are made and by the synapsis and segregation of homologous chromosomes. Recent studies with the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae have identified some of the key players that link homologous recombination to synaptonemal complex formation.
