Association of homologous chromosomes during floral development [PDF]
Current Biology, 1997 Reduction in chromosome number and genetic recombination during meiosis require the prior association of homologous chromosomes, and this has been assumed to be a central event in meiosis. Various studies have suggested, however, that while the reduction division of meiosis is a universally conserved process, the pre-meiotic association of homologues ...

Homologous chromosome pairing in Schizosaccharomyces pombe [PDF]
Yeast, 2006 AbstractHomologous chromosome pairing is a central feature of meiosis I, contributing to the correct segregation of chromosomes during meiosis. The fission yeast, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, has been widely used to study meiotic chromosome dynamics, partly because studies in this yeast are simplified due to the lack of post‐pairing synaptic structures ...

Site-Specific Sequence Exchange Between Homologous and Non-homologous Chromosomes [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Transgene integration typically takes place in an easy-to-transform laboratory variety before the transformation event is introgressed through backcrosses to elite cultivars. As new traits are added to existing transgenic lines, site-specific integration can stack new transgenes into a previously created transgenic locus.

Modeling homologous chromosome recognition via nonspecific interactions. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S AIn many organisms, most notably Drosophila , homologous chromosomes associate in somatic cells, a phenomenon known as somatic pairing, which takes place without double strand breaks or strand invasion, thus requiring some other mechanism for homologs to recognize each other.

Natural Chromosome-Chromid Fusion across rRNA Operons in a Burkholderiaceae Bacterium
Microbiology Spectrum, 2022 Chromids (secondary chromosomes) in bacterial genomes that are present in addition to the main chromosome appear to be evolutionarily conserved in some specific bacterial groups.

Chromosomally-retained RNA mediates homologous pairing [PDF]
Nucleus, 2012 Pairing and recombination of homologous chromosomes are essential for ensuring correct segregation of chromosomes in meiosis. In S. pombe, chromosomes are first bundled at the telomeres (forming a telomere bouquet) and then aligned by oscillatory movement of the elongated "horsetail" nucleus.

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.

A surge of late-occurring meiotic double-strand breaks rescues synapsis abnormalities in spermatocytes of mice with hypomorphic expression of SPO11 [PDF]
, 2015 Meiosis is the biological process that, after a cycle of DNA replication, halves the cellular chromosome complement, leading to the formation of haploid gametes.

iScience, 2022 Summary: Meiotic prophase I is a prolonged G2 phase that ensures the completion of numerous meiosis-specific chromosome events. During meiotic prophase I, homologous chromosomes undergo synapsis to facilitate meiotic recombination yielding crossovers. It
