Mer3 helicase protects early crossover intermediates from STR complex disassembly during meiosis

This study identifies a new Mer3 complex with Top3 and Rmi1 and shows Mer3 inhibits the STR complex's anti-recombination activity, promoting crossover formation during meiosis.

Novel mechanistic insights into the role of Mer2 as the keystone of meiotic DNA break formation

This study identifies Mer2 as a keystone in meiotic DSB formation by linking it to chromatin and DSB factors through biochemical interactions.
