Abstract:
Dozens of genes are known to control the pathways of crossover formation between homologs during meiosis. In most species, crossovers interfere, a phenomenon first discovered in the Morgan lab nearly a century ago. Nevertheless the mechanisms producing crossover interference remain unknown. I will show how quantitative modeling has been used, what has been learned, and the road still ahead.
