Spo11 - SPO11 initiator of meiotic double strand breaks

Predicted to enable DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in meiotic DNA double-strand break formation; meiotic DNA double-strand break processing; and reciprocal meiotic recombination. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including germ cell development; meiosis I; and ovarian follicle development. Predicted to be located in chromosome, telomeric region. Predicted to be active in nuclear chromosome. Orthologous to human SPO11 (SPO11 initiator of meiotic double stranded breaks). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
