Loss of meiotic double strand breaks triggers recruitment of recombination-independent pro-crossover factors in C. elegans spermatogenesis

JoAnne Engebrecht, Aashna Calidas, Qianyan Li…·Nicola Silva

This study shows that in C. elegans male spermatogenesis, crossover-promoting factors can recruit to chromosomes without SPO-11 activity, indicating weakened crossover control compared to hermaphrodite oogenesis.

The chromatin-associated 53BP1 ortholog, HSR-9, regulates recombinational repair and X chromosome segregation in the Caenorhabditis elegans germ line

Qianyan Li, Sara Hariri, Aashna Calidas…·JoAnne Engebrecht

This study shows that HSR-9, the C. elegans ortholog of 53BP1, regulates meiotic recombination and X chromosome segregation, with both conserved and unique functions compared to somatic cells.
