Studying recombination with high-throughput sequencing: an educational primer for use with "fine-scale heterogeneity in crossover rate in the garnet-scalloped region of the Drosophila melanogaster X chromosome".

Abstract:

:An article by Singh and colleagues in this issue of GENETICS quantifies variation in recombination rate across a small region of the Drosophila melanogaster genome, providing an opportunity for instructors of genetics to introduce or reinforce important concepts such as recombination and recombination rate variation, genome sequencing, and sequence features of the genome. Additional background information, a detailed explanation of the methods used in this study, and discussion questions are provided.

  • Homologous recombinational repair of double-strand breaks in yeast is enhanced by MAT heterozygosity through yKU-dependent and -independent mechanisms.

    abstract::DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are repaired by homologous recombination (HR) and nonhomologous end-joining (NHEJ). NHEJ in yeast chromosomes has been observed only when HR is blocked, as in rad52 mutants or in the absence of a homologous repair template. We detected yKu70p-dependent imprecise NHEJ at a frequency of a...
