Journal ArticleDOI

The mouse Spo11 gene is required for meiotic chromosome synapsis.

TL;DR: The Spo11 protein initiates meiotic recombination by generating DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) and is required for meiotic synapsis in S. cerevisiae, but it is speculated that there is an additional role for Spo11, after it generates DSBs, insynapsis.
Journal ArticleDOI

DNA damage-induced G2-M checkpoint activation by histone H2AX and 53BP1.

TL;DR: It is proposed that at threshold levels of DNA damage, H2AX-mediated concentration of 53BP1 at double-strand breaks is essential for the amplification of signals that might otherwise be insufficient to prevent entry of damaged cells into mitosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

H2AX Is Required for Chromatin Remodeling and Inactivation of Sex Chromosomes in Male Mouse Meiosis

TL;DR: It is shown that the X and Y chromosomes of histone H2AX-deficient spermatocytes fail to condense to form a sex body, do not initiate MSCI, and exhibit severe defects in meiotic pairing.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic recombination is directed away from functional genomic elements in mice

TL;DR: It is shown that PRDM9 determines the positions of practically all hotspots in the mouse genome, with the exception of the pseudo-autosomal region (PAR)—the only area of the genome that undergoes recombination in 100% of cells.
