CYTOLOGICAL descriptions of meiosis have long been a staple of biology textbooks, but a biochemical account of the process with a comparable claim to universality has been unavailable. We present here evidence for a common pattern of DNA metabolism in male meiotic cells of lilies and rodents during the zygotene–pachytene stages when crossing-over is presumed to occur. The prevalence of a common pattern between species that are as phylogenetically distant as lily and mouse has led us to conclude… Expand
