Sister chromatid repair maintains genomic integrity during meiosis in Caenorhabditis elegans

Erik Toraason, Anna Horacek, Cordell J. Clark…·Diana E. Libuda

The paper demonstrates that sister chromatid repair occurs during meiosis in C. elegans, with noncrossovers being the predominant recombination outcome and specific proteins required at different stages.
