About the lecture

Homologous recombination fulfils fundamental DNA repair roles during mitotic proliferation as well as during meiosis. Crucially, however, context-specific modifications tailor the recombination machinery to avoid, or enforce, formation of reciprocal exchanges – crossovers – between maternal and paternal chromosomes. I will discuss how cells rewire the function of various DNA repair enzymes to regulate crossing-over and either safeguard genome stability (mitosis) or promote genetic diversity (meiosis).
