Hello Bluesky, for my first post here I'm happy to share our latest preprint reporting the first biochemical reconstitution of DNA double-strand break formation by SPO11.

SPO11 dimerization controls meiotic DNA double-strand break formation.

SPO11 dimerization controls meiotic DNA double-strand break formation
SPO11 initiates meiotic recombination through the induction of programmed DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), but this catalytic activity had never been reconstituted in vitro. Here, using Mus musculus S...
