A fantastic study from James Higgins’ group on SCEP3 – a newly identified component of the synaptonemal complex in plants!
Happy that our team could be part of this! 😄🧬

New OA Article: "SCEP3 initiates synapsis and implements crossover interference in Arabidopsis" rdcu.be/eQKqW
A new synaptonemal complex protein; prevents clustering of crossovers during meiosis, so every pair of chromosomes receives at least one ‘obligate’ crossover.
