Unisexual reproduction drives meiotic recombination and phenotypic and karyotypic plasticity in Cryptococcus neoformans. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2014 In fungi, unisexual reproduction, where sexual development is initiated without the presence of two compatible mating type alleles, has been observed in several species that can also undergo traditional bisexual reproduction, including the important ...

Meiotic DSB patterning: A multifaceted process [PDF]
, 2016 Meiosis is a specialized two-step cell division responsible for genome haploidization and the generation of genetic diversity during gametogenesis. An integral and distinctive feature of the meiotic program is the evolutionarily conserved initiation of ...

Where to Cross Over? Defining Crossover Sites in Plants
Frontiers in Genetics, 2018 It is believed that recombination in meiosis serves to reshuffle genetic material from both parents to increase genetic variation in the progeny. At the same time, the number of crossovers is usually kept at a very low level.

Effect of sex, age and genetics on crossover interference in cattle
Scientific Reports, 2016 Crossovers generated by homologous recombination ensure proper chromosome segregation during meiosis. Crossover interference results in chiasmata being more evenly distributed along chromosomes, but the mechanism underlying crossover interference remains

A Computational Approach to Estimating Nondisjunction Frequency in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. [PDF]
, 2016 Errors segregating homologous chromosomes during meiosis result in aneuploid gametes and are the largest contributing factor to birth defects and spontaneous abortions in humans.

Genome editing using a versatile vector-based CRISPR/Cas9 system in Fusarium species
Scientific Reports, 2022 Fusarium species include important filamentous fungal pathogens that can infect plants, animals, and humans. Meanwhile, some nonpathogenic Fusarium species are promising biocontrol agents against plant pathogens.

eLife, 2022 Cohesin organizes the genome by forming intra-chromosomal loops and inter-sister chromatid linkages. During gamete formation by meiosis, chromosomes are reshaped to support crossover recombination and two consecutive rounds of chromosome segregation ...

Patterns of Inter-Chromosomal Gene Conversion on the Male-Specific Region of the Human Y Chromosome [PDF]
, 2017 The male-specific region of the human Y chromosome (MSY) is characterized by the lack of meiotic recombination and it has long been considered an evolutionary independent region of the human genome.

Divergent kleisin subunits of cohesin specify mechanisms to tether and release meiotic chromosomes
eLife, 2014 We show that multiple, functionally specialized cohesin complexes mediate the establishment and two-step release of sister chromatid cohesion that underlies the production of haploid gametes. In C.
