Mammalian condensin I controls higher-order chromosome organization and homologous recombination in meiotic prophase I

Laurine Dal Toe, Boubou Diagouraga, Alexandre Nore…·Thomas Robert

This study shows that condensin I regulates meiotic chromosome structure and recombination by controlling chromatin loops and synaptonemal complex organization in mammals.

The FIGNL1-FIRRM complex is required to complete meiotic recombination in the mouse and prevents massive DNA damage-independent RAD51 and DMC1 loading

Akbar Zainu, Dupaigne Pauline, Soumya Bouchouika…·Frédéric Baudat

This study identifies the FIGNL1-FIRRM complex as essential for completing meiotic recombination in mice by regulating RAD51 and DMC1 loading, independent of DNA damage.
