Meiosis is a special cell division program that reduces the diploid chromosome set to a haploid set for sexual reproduction. Reductional segregation of homologous chromosomes is helped by physical link-ages (crossovers) provided by recombina-tion. A long-standing problem in biology has been to understand how meiotic recom-bination is controlled, since its initiation by DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) is a programmed damage that could be lethal and is highly organized temporally and spatially throughout the genome. Much of our current knowledge comes from work in fungi, notably the budding yeas
