Meiosis. DNA branching during meiotic recombination

Curr Biol. 1994 May 1;4(5):448-51. doi: 10.1016/s0960-9822(00)00100-7.

Abstract

The branched forms of chromosomal DNA that arise during meiotic prophase in yeast have been characterized eletrophoretically, contributing to our understanding of meiotic synapsis and crossing over.
