title: The double-stranded DNA helix in recombination at meiosis.
abstract: The nature of meiotic genetic recombination was resolved at the DNA level by the 1953 Watson and Crick model. What remains to be determined are the roles of the various recombination proteins and the distribution and localization of recombination events in the meiotic prophase nucleus.
