title: Homologous recombination: needing to have my say.
abstract: Recent studies in budding and fission yeasts have revealed Mei5 and Sae3 as factors necessary for the proper function of the recombinases Dmc1 and Rad51 in DNA repair and meiotic recombination, providing new insights into how strand exchange proteins are directed along specific recombination pathways.
