Suppression of meiotic crossovers in pericentromeric heterochromatin requires synaptonemal complex and meiotic recombination factors in Drosophila melanogaster

Nila M. Pazhayam, Sasha Sagar, Jeff J. Sekelsky

The paper investigates crossover suppression in Drosophila pericentromeric regions by analyzing mutations affecting the synaptonemal complex and recombination factors, finding that these factors are critical for suppressing crossovers in heterochromatin.

Centromere-Proximal Suppression of Meiotic Crossovers in Drosophila is Robust to Changes in Centromere Number and Repetitive DNA Content

Nila M. Pazhayam, Leah K. Frazier, Jeff J. Sekelsky

This study investigates the robustness of the Drosophila centromere effect to changes in centromere number and repetitive DNA content, finding it to be resilient to these factors.
