During meiosis, branched DNA molecules containing information from both parental chromosomes occur in vivo at loci where meiosis-specific double-stranded breaks occur. We demonstrate here that these joint molecules are recombination intermediates: they contain single strands that have undergone exchange of information. Moreover, these joint molecules are resolved into both parental and recombinant duplexes when treated in vitro with Holliday junction-resolving endonucleases RuvC or T4 endo VII. Taken together with previous observations, these results strongly suggest that joint molecules are double Holliday junctions.
