The conserved ATPase PCH-2 controls the number and distribution of crossovers by antagonizing their formation in C. elegans
This is an important study examining the role of conserved PCH-2 protein at different stages of C. elegans meiosis. The authors use elegant molecular genetic approaches to provide convincing evidence ...

Methylation of histone H3K23 blocks DNA damage in pericentric heterochromatin during meiosis
Inside the nucleus of a cell, the DNA is wound around histone proteins. This forms a structure called chromatin that allows the long DNA strands to fit inside the cell. Variations in chromatin ...
