Chromosome pairing: a hidden treasure no more. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2012 Many generations of biologists have been intrigued by the myriad structures that eukaryotic chromosomes can adopt and have questioned how their form relates to function [1], [2].

Chromosome Pairing in Polyploid Grasses [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 Polyploids are species in which three or more sets of chromosomes coexist. Polyploidy frequently occurs in plants and plays a major role in their evolution.

Chromosome Pairing in Hybrid Progeny between Triticum aestivum and Elytrigia elongata [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017 In this study, the intergeneric hybrids F1, F2, BC1F1, BC1F2, and BC2F1 from Elytrigia elongata and Triticum aestivum crosses were produced to study their chromosome pairing behavior. The average E. elongata chromosome configuration of the two F1 hybrids

Protein phosphatase 4 promotes chromosome pairing and synapsis, and contributes to maintaining crossover competence with increasing age. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2014 Prior to the meiotic divisions, dynamic chromosome reorganizations including pairing, synapsis, and recombination of maternal and paternal chromosome pairs must occur in a highly regulated fashion during meiotic prophase.

Modeling cell biological features of meiotic chromosome pairing to study interlock resolution. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2022 During meiosis, homologous chromosomes become associated side by side in a process known as homologous chromosome pairing. Pairing requires long range chromosome motion through a nucleus that is full of other chromosomes.

The genome-wide multi-layered architecture of chromosome pairing in early Drosophila embryos. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2019 Genome organization involves cis and trans chromosomal interactions, both implicated in gene regulation, development, and disease. Here, we focus on trans interactions in Drosophila, where homologous chromosomes are paired in somatic cells from ...

PAR-TERRA directs homologous sex chromosome pairing. [PDF]
Nat Struct Mol Biol, 2017 In mammals, homologous chromosomes rarely pair outside meiosis. One exception is the X chromosome, which transiently pairs during X-chromosome inactivation (XCI). How two chromosomes find each other in 3D space is not known.

Meiotic chromosome pairing is promoted by telomere-led chromosome movements independent of bouquet formation. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2012 Chromosome pairing in meiotic prophase is a prerequisite for the high fidelity of chromosome segregation that haploidizes the genome prior to gamete formation. In the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, as in most multicellular eukaryotes, homologous

Meiotic cohesin-based chromosome structure is essential for homologous chromosome pairing in Schizosaccharomyces pombe. [PDF]
Chromosoma, 2016 Chromosome structure is dramatically altered upon entering meiosis to establish chromosomal architectures necessary for the successful progression of meiosis-specific events. An early meiotic event involves the replacement of the non-SMC mitotic cohesins
