title: Meiotic Recombination: Taking the Path Less Traveled.
abstract: The proper distribution of crossovers during meiosis I ensures accurate chromosome segregation at the first meiotic division. A new study reveals both the consequences of improper crossover patterning in Drosophila and the role of Blm helicase in controlling this patterning.
