Research Abstract |
Meiosis is a special type of cell division for sexual reproduction and produces gametes.Genetic recombination between homologous chromosomes is required for meiosis. A defect in the recombination results in declining biodiversity and disorders caused by chromosomal abnormality. Meiotic chromosomes interact with various proteins. Theinteraction dynamically alters chromosome structure. In this study, we analyzed an initiation mechanism of meiotic recombination by a chromosomal structural protein using genome-wide analyses and bioinformatics.
