Homologous recombination counteracts mismatch repair to promote fertility and genetic diversity
The DNA mismatch repair (MMR) system is classically viewed as being anti-recombinogenic during meiosis because it mediates heteroduplex rejection to inhibit homeologous recombination, leading to postzygotic isolation between closely related species. In…
