Abstract

Specialized sites along DNA maintain the pairing of homologous chromosomes during meiosis. Three research articles, including two in this issue of Cell, describe proteins from the fruit fly (Thomas et al., 2005) and the worm (MacQueen et al., 2005; Phillips et al., 2005) that bind to these sites and stabilize pairing interactions.
