Chromosome synapsis and genetic recombination: their roles in meiotic chromosome segregation

G S Roeder. Trends Genet. 1990 Dec.

Abstract

Chromosome synapsis and genetic recombination ensure the faithful segregation of chromosomes at meiosis I by establishing physical connections between homologs. Recent observations suggest that recombination may also play a role in the homology search process that precedes synapsis.
