title: Meiosis: SYP up firmly and cross over evenly.
abstract: The distribution and number of reciprocal DNA exchange events (crossovers) along meiotic chromosomes is tightly controlled. A recent report shows that unperturbed meiotic chromosome structure is important for this control, and that crossovers in turn modify chromosome structure locally.
