Meiotic crossover (CO) formation establishes the physical linkagesbetween duplicated meiotic chromosomes. These COs are required for the segregation of chromosomes into the developing gametes and subsequent exchange of genetic material between maternal and paternal chromo- somes. Ultimately, meiotic CO recombination represents the fundamental advantage of sexual reproduction and helps drive genetic diversity.
