gene: smc-5 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable single-stranded DNA binding activity. Involved in meiotic DNA double-strand break processing involved in reciprocal meiotic recombination. Located in condensed nuclear chromosome. Expressed in germ line. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in mosaic variegated aneuploidy syndrome. Is an ortholog of human SMC5 (structural maintenance of chromosomes 5).
