Differing requirements for RAD51 and DMC1 in meiotic pairing of centromeres and chromosome arms in Arabidopsis thaliana. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2012 During meiosis homologous chromosomes pair, recombine, and synapse, thus ensuring accurate chromosome segregation and the halving of ploidy necessary for gametogenesis.

CHROMOSOME PAIRING IN MAIZE [PDF]
Genetics, 1972 ABSTRACT This report summarizes our observations at pachytene on opposite-arms intercrosses between stocks of interchanges that involve chromosomes 1 and 5 in maize.—Pairing does not begin at the centromeres in these intercrosses.—We propose a model which assumes different probability values along each chromosome arm for the initial or ...

MATHEMATICS OF CHROMOSOME PAIRING [PDF]
Genetics, 1980 ABSTRACT Analysis of frequencies of chromosome configurations in wheat-related species hybrids is extended to include cases involving homoeologous groups of size six. Further, the expected frequencies of the various configurations emanating from homologous and homoeologous pairing events have been determined for groups consisting of two ...

Chromosome painting reveals asynaptic full alignment of homologs and HIM-8-dependent remodeling of X chromosome territories during Caenorhabditis elegans meiosis. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2011 During early meiotic prophase, a nucleus-wide reorganization leads to sorting of chromosomes into homologous pairs and to establishing associations between homologous chromosomes along their entire lengths.

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023 Meiosis involves deep changes in the spatial organisation and interactions of chromosomes enabling the two primary functions of this process: increasing genetic diversity and reducing ploidy level.

Multiple opposing constraints govern chromosome interactions during meiosis. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2013 Homolog pairing and crossing over during meiosis I prophase is required for accurate chromosome segregation to form euploid gametes. The repair of Spo11-induced double-strand breaks (DSB) using a homologous chromosome template is a major driver of ...

Somatic pairing of chromosome 19 in renal oncocytoma is associated with deregulated EGLN2-mediated [corrected] oxygen-sensing response. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2008 Chromosomal abnormalities, such as structural and numerical abnormalities, are a common occurrence in cancer. The close association of homologous chromosomes during interphase, a phenomenon termed somatic chromosome pairing, has been observed in ...

Crop Journal, 2023 Autopolyploidy and allopolyploidy may represent an evolutionary advantage and are more common in plants than assumed. However, less attention has been paid to autopolyploidy than to allopolyploidy, and its evolutionary consequences are largely unclear ...

PLoS Genetics, 2013 Pairing of homologous chromosomes during early meiosis is essential to prevent the formation of aneuploid gametes. Chromosome pairing includes a step of homology search followed by the stabilization of homolog interactions by the synaptonemal complex (SC)

How to pre-pair chromosomes for meiosis [PDF]
Cell Cycle, 2016 Meiosis is a special type of cell division specific to germ cells, whereby diploid germ cells produce haploid gametes for sexual reproduction.
