Abstract
A new study in mice shows that, during meiosis, the decision to mature a double-strand break into a crossover is controlled by a dosage-sensitive regulator, RNF212. This finding provides insight into the crossover maturation process and may help explain how sequence polymorphisms in RNF212 alter the frequency of crossing over in humans.
