So we called it a bar.

Divergence and conservation of the meiotic recombination machinery - Nature Reviews Genetics

|
By Scott Keeney
| Nature Verified
Abstract Sexually reproducing eukaryotes use recombination between homologous chromosomes to promote chromosome segregation during meiosis. Meiotic recombination is almost universally conserved in its broad strokes, but specific molecular details often differ considerably between taxa, and the proteins that constitute the recombination machinery show substantial sequence variability.

| PNAS Verified
Significance Recombination between homologous chromosomes is essential for gamete formation in mammals. Recombination initiates with DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), whose formation is tightly regulated. The vertebrate-specific ANKRD31 protein is an important part of this regulation in mice and humans and is particularly important for ensuring that the sex chromosomes in males can recombine.
