Improved reconstruction and comparative analysis of chromosome 12 to rectify Mis-assemblies in Gossypium arboreum

BMC Genomics, 2020
Background Genome sequencing technologies have been improved at an exponential pace but precise chromosome-scale genome assembly still remains a great challenge. The draft genome of cultivated G.

Condensin II resolves chromosomal associations to enable anaphase I segregation in Drosophila male meiosis. [PDF]

PLoS Genetics, 2008
Several meiotic processes ensure faithful chromosome segregation to create haploid gametes. Errors to any one of these processes can lead to zygotic aneuploidy with the potential for developmental abnormalities.

ASYNAPSIS 1 ensures crossover fidelity in polyploid wheat by promoting homologous recombination and suppressing non-homologous recombination

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
During meiosis, the chromosome axes and synaptonemal complex mediate chromosome pairing and homologous recombination to maintain genomic stability and accurate chromosome segregation.

Zoo-FISH in the European mole (Talpa europaea) detects all ancestral Boreo-Eutherian human homologous chromosome associations [PDF]

, 2006
Zoo-FISH with human whole-chromosome paint probes delineated syntenic association of human homologous chromosome segments 3-21, 14-15, 16-19, 4-8, 7-16 and 12-22 (twice) in the European mole (Talpa europaea, Talpidae, Eulipotyphla, Mammalia).

HO Endonuclease-Initiated Recombination in Yeast Meiosis Fails To Promote Homologous Centromere Pairing and Is Not Constrained To Utilize the Dmc1 Recombinase

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2018
Crossover recombination during meiosis is accompanied by a dramatic chromosome reorganization. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the onset of meiotic recombination by the Spo11 transesterase leads to stable pairwise associations between previously ...

Is the Y chromosome disappearing?—Both sides of the argument [PDF]

, 2011
On August 31, 2011 at the 18th International Chromosome Conference in Manchester, Jenny Graves took on Jenn Hughes to debate the demise (or otherwise) of the mammalian Y chromosome.

Mouse oocytes carrying metacentric Robertsonian chromosomes have fewer crossover sites and higher aneuploidy rates than oocytes carrying acrocentric chromosomes alone

Scientific Reports, 2022
Meiotic homologous recombination during fetal development dictates proper chromosome segregation in adult mammalian oocytes. Successful homologous synapsis and recombination during Meiotic Prophase I (MPI) depends on telomere-led chromosome movement ...

The courtship choreography of homologous chromosomes: timing and mechanisms of DSB-independent pairing

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.

Meiotic telomeres: a matchmaker for homologous chromosomes [PDF]

Genes to Cells, 1998
Telomeres, with their special structures and special schemes of synthesis, are essential for protecting the ends of eukaryotic linear chromosomes during cell proliferation. In addition to this basic function, the meiosis‐specific functions of telomeres have long been inferred from the cytological observations of characteristic chromosome configurations
