Ensuring meiotic DNA break formation in the mouse pseudoautosomal region

Laurent Acquaviva, Michiel Boekhout, Mehmet E. Karasu, Kevin Brick, Florencia Pratto, Tao Li, Megan van Overbeek, Liisa Kauppi, R. Daniel Camerini‐Otero, Maria Jasin, Scott Keeney

The paper identifies cis- and trans-acting factors that drive meiotic DNA break formation in the mouse pseudoautosomal region, revealing structural and molecular mechanisms essential for recombination and segregation.
