Crossover interference mediates multiscale patterning along meiotic chromosomes. [PDF]
AbstractThe classical phenomenon of crossover interference is a one-dimensional spatial patterning process that produces evenly spaced crossovers during meiosis. Quantitative analysis of diagnostic molecules along budding yeast chromosomes reveals that this process also sets up a second, interdigitated pattern of related but longer periodicity, in a ...

CODA (crossover distribution analyzer): quantitative characterization of crossover position patterns along chromosomes [PDF]
Abstract Background During meiosis, homologous chromosomes exchange segments via the formation of crossovers. This phenomenon is highly regulated; in particular, crossovers are distributed heterogeneously along the physical map and rarely arise in close proximity, a property referred to as "interference".

Crossover patterns under meiotic chromosome program
Repairing DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) with homologous chromosomes as templates is the hallmark of meiosis. The critical outcome of meiotic homologous recombination is crossovers, which ensure faithful chromosome segregation and promote genetic diversity of progenies.

Modulating crossover positioning by introducing large structural changes in chromosomes [PDF]
Crossing over assures the correct segregation of the homologous chromosomes to both poles of the dividing meiocyte. This exchange of DNA creates new allelic combinations thus increasing the genetic variation present in offspring. Crossovers are not uniformly distributed along chromosomes; rather there are preferred locations where they may take place ...

Per-nucleus crossover covariation is regulated by chromosome organization [PDF]
Meiotic crossover (CO) recombination between homologous chromosomes regulates chromosome segregation and promotes genetic diversity. Human females have different CO patterns than males, and some of these features contribute to the high frequency of chromosome segregation errors.

Meiotic crossovers characterized by haplotype-specific chromosome painting in maize [PDF]
AbstractMeiotic crossovers (COs) play a critical role in generating genetic variation and maintaining faithful segregation of homologous chromosomes during meiosis. We develop a haplotype-specific fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) technique that allows visualization of COs directly on metaphase chromosomes. Oligonucleotides (oligos) specific to

Crossover Position Drives Chromosome Remodeling for Accurate Meiotic Chromosome Segregation [PDF]
Interhomolog crossovers (COs) are a prerequisite for achieving accurate chromosome segregation during meiosis [1, 2]. COs are not randomly positioned, occurring at distinct genomic intervals during meiosis in all species examined [3-10]. The role of CO position as a major determinant of accurate chromosome segregation has not been previously directly ...

A new efficient genetic algorithm-Taguchi-based approach for multi-period inventory routing problem [PDF]
The inventory routing problem arises from the combination of the vehicle routing problem and the vendor-managed inventory problem. In this paper, we present a mathematical model and a novel genetic algorithm for solving the multi-period inventory routing

Meiotic chromosome organization and crossover patterns
Abstract Meiosis is the foundation of sexual reproduction, and crossover recombination is one hallmark of meiosis. Crossovers establish the physical connections between homolog chromosomes (homologs) for their proper segregation and exchange DNA between homologs to promote genetic diversity in gametes and thus progenies.
