Separable downmodulation of meiotic axis protein deposition and DNA break induction at chromosome ends
In many organisms, meiotic crossover recombination is suppressed near the extreme ends of chromosomes. Here, we show that multiple, often chromosome-specific, suppressive mechanisms with differing ranges contribute to the consistently low enrichment of recombination-promoting axis proteins and the downregulation of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) within 20 kb of telomeres in Saccharomyces…
