Abstract

During meiosis, the repair of induced DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) produces crossovers (COs). COs are essential for the proper segregation of homologous chromosomes at the first meiotic division. In addition, COs generate new combinations of genetic markers in the progeny. CO localization is tightly controlled, giving rise to patterns that are specific to each species. The underlying mechanisms governing CO location, however, are poorly understood. Recent studies highlight the complexity of the multiple interconnected factors involved in shaping the CO landscape and demonstrate that the mechanisms that control CO distribution can vary from species to species. Here, we provide an overview of the recent findings related to CO distribution and discuss their impact on our understanding of the control of meiotic recombination.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 21 March 2019.
All research outputs
#16,721,208
of 25,373,627 outputs
Outputs from Trends in Genetics
#2,077
of 2,382 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#160,438
of 279,761 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Trends in Genetics
#28
of 30 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,373,627 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,382 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 11.5. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 279,761 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 39th percentile – i.e., 39% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 30 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 3rd percentile – i.e., 3% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
