UniProtKB description: Required for meiotic recombination. Mediates DNA cleavage that forms the double-strand breaks (DSB) that initiate meiotic recombination. The action of SPO11 is important in setting off a regulatory chain of events encompassing 5' to 3' resection. When there are no SPO11-DSBs, resection of a site specific VDE-DSB takes place but it is faster than in wild-type meiosis and increases the risk of uncovering flanking homology.
