Chromosome-specific differences in the recombination landscape of spontaneous meiotic nondisjunction

Carolyn A. Turcotte, Jeff Sekelsky

The paper investigates chromosome-specific differences in recombination patterns associated with meiotic nondisjunction in Drosophila, finding reduced recombination in chromosome 2 compared to the X chromosome.

A pathway for error-free non-homologous end joining of resected meiotic double-strand breaks

Talia Hatkevich, Danny E. Miller, Carolyn A. Turcotte…·Jeff J. Sekelsky

The paper describes a backup repair mechanism in Drosophila meiosis where non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) precisely repairs resected meiotic DSBs when homologous recombination fails.
