    BRCA1/BRC-1 and SMC-5/6 regulate DNA repair pathway engagement during Caenorhabditis elegans meiosis

    Erik Toraason, Alina Salagean ... Diana E Libuda
    To maintain genomic integrity during oocyte development, the tumor suppressor BRCA1/BRC-1 and the SMC-5/6 complex both repress intersister crossover recombination events while BRCA1/BRC-1 also specifically inhibits error prone repair of DNA breaks during meiotic prophase I.
