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.

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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)

Competition of Parental Genomes in Plant Hybrids
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 Interspecific hybridization represents one of the main mechanisms of plant speciation. Merging of two genomes from different subspecies, species, or even genera is frequently accompanied by whole-genome duplication (WGD).

Mechanics and dynamics of X-chromosome pairing at X inactivation. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2008 At the onset of X-chromosome inactivation, the vital process whereby female mammalian cells equalize X products with respect to males, the X chromosomes are colocalized along their Xic (X-inactivation center) regions.

Nature Communications, 2019 Pairing of homologous chromosomes in meiosis is essential for sexual reproduction. We have previously demonstrated that the fission yeast sme2 RNA, a meiosis-specific long noncoding RNA (lncRNA), accumulates at the sme2 chromosomal loci and mediates ...

The KL system in wheat permits homoeologous crossing over between closely related chromosomes
Crop Journal, 2023 The Chinese wheat landrace Kaixianluohanmai (KL) expresses the ph-like phenotype. A major QTL, QPh.sicau-3A (syn. phKL), responsible for this effect has been mapped to chromosome arm 3AL.
