Site-Specific Sequence Exchange Between Homologous and Non-homologous Chromosomes [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

Characterization of meiotic chromosome behavior in the autopolyploid Saccharum spontaneum reveals preferential chromosome pairing without distinct DNA sequence variation

open access: yesCrop 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 ...

Dispersive forces and resisting spot welds by alternative homolog conjunction govern chromosome shape in Drosophila spermatocytes during prophase I.

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2022
The bivalent chromosomes that are generated during prophase of meiosis I comprise a pair of homologous chromosomes. Homolog pairing during prophase I must include mechanisms that avoid or eliminate entanglements between non-homologous chromosomes.

Preferential meiotic chromosome pairing among homologous chromosomes with cryptic sequence variation in tetraploid maize.

open access: yesNew Phytologist, 2020
Meiotic chromosome pairing between homoeologous chromosomes was reported in many nascent allopolyploids. Homoeologous pairing is gradually eliminated and replaced by exclusive homologous pairing in well-established allopolyploids, an evolutionary process

Dynamics of rye chromosome 1R regions with high or low crossover frequency in homology search and synapsis development. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
In many organisms, homologous pairing and synapsis depend on the meiotic recombination machinery that repairs double-strand DNA breaks (DSBs) produced at the onset of meiosis.

Natural Chromosome-Chromid Fusion across rRNA Operons in a Burkholderiaceae Bacterium

open access: yesMicrobiology 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.

Chromosome painting reveals asynaptic full alignment of homologs and HIM-8-dependent remodeling of X chromosome territories during Caenorhabditis elegans meiosis. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS 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]

open access: yes, 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.

FBXO47 is essential for preventing the synaptonemal complex from premature disassembly in mouse male meiosis

open access: yesiScience, 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

Pushing the (nuclear) envelope into meiosis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
A recent study shows that a short isoform of a mammalian nuclear lamin is important for homologous chromosome interactions during meiotic prophase in ...
