The perpetuation of most eukaryotic species requires differentiation of pluripotent progenitors into egg and sperm and subsequent fusion of these gametes to form a new zygote. Meiosis is a distinguishing feature of gamete formation as it leads to the two-fold reduction in chromosome number thereby maintaining ploidy across generations. This process increases offspring diversity through the random segregation of chromosomes and the exchange of genetic material between homologous parental chromosomes, known as meiotic crossover recombination. These exchanges require the establishment of unique and dynamic chromatin configurations that facilitate cohesion, homologue pairing, synapsis, double strand break formation and repair. The precise orchestration of these events is critical for gamete survival as evidenced by the majority of human aneuploidies that can be traced to defects in the first meiotic division This review will focus on recent advances in our understanding of key meiotic events and how coordination of these events is occurring.
