Term summary
- ID
- GO:0010780
- Name
- meiotic DNA double-strand break formation involved in reciprocal meiotic recombination
- Ontology or CV name
- GO biological process
- Definition
- The cell cycle process in which double-strand breaks are generated at defined hotspots throughout the genome during meiosis I resulting in meiotic recombination. Meiotic recombination is the cell cycle process in which double strand breaks are formed and repaired through a double Holliday junction intermediate.
