<T. Allers> is a researcher in <DNA replication>, <homologous recombination> and <DNA repair>. His work includes <budding yeast> <meiosis> and genetic studies of <archaea>. The institutional research profile describes using <Haloferax volcanii> as an experimental system for studying these chromosome-maintenance processes.<Thorsten Allers research profile at the University of Nottingham>[Biography and Research Summary]{ref}
With <M. Lichten>, <T. Allers> examined a useful perturbation of <meiotic recombination>: <Ndt80>-deficient <yeast> arrested with unresolved <Holliday junction> intermediates and very few <chromosomal crossovers>, yet produced <noncrossover recombination> products at normal levels and times. The two outcomes could therefore be experimentally separated.<Differential timing and control of noncrossover and crossover recombination during meiosis by T. Allers and M. Lichten>[Abstract:ndt80-mutant comparison and differential regulation]{ref}
For example, if blocking a late step removes one product while another still appears on schedule, the second product need not depend on that blocked step. The observation supported distinct routes to the two classes of <genetic recombination> products; it did not require every molecular event to be visible in one static structure.
