On the synapsis in amphibia [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Containing Papers of a Biological Character, 1906 In 1903 and 1904 one of us, in conjunction with Professor Farmer, described the maiotic process in a variety of animals and plants. From the observations then accumulated it was in the first place shown that what we termed the maiotic process appears to be the same throughout the animal and vegetable kingdoms.

ZIP4 is required for normal progression of synapsis and for over 95% of crossovers in wheat meiosis
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 Tetraploid (AABB) and hexaploid (AABBDD) wheat have multiple sets of similar chromosomes, with successful meiosis and preservation of fertility relying on synapsis and crossover (CO) formation only taking place between homologous chromosomes.

Rad54: the Swiss Army knife of homologous recombination? [PDF]
, 2006 Homologous recombination (HR) is a ubiquitous cellular pathway that mediates transfer of genetic information between homologous or near homologous (homeologous) DNA sequences. During meiosis it ensures proper chromosome segregation in the first division.

Recombination, Pairing, and Synapsis of Homologs during Meiosis.
Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2015 Recombination is a prominent feature of meiosis in which it plays an important role in increasing genetic diversity during inheritance. Additionally, in most organisms, recombination also plays mechanical roles in chromosomal processes, most notably to ...

Gated rotation mechanism of site-specific recombination by ϕC31 integrase [PDF]
, 2012 Integrases, such as that of the Streptomyces temperate bacteriophage ϕC31, promote site-specific recombination between DNA sequences in the bacteriophage and bacterial genomes to integrate or excise the phage DNA.

Tau oligomers: the toxic player at synapses in Alzheimer’s disease
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2015 Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive disorder in which the most noticeable symptoms are cognitive impairment and memory loss. However, the precise mechanism by which those symptoms develop remains unknown.

Controlled rotation mechanism of DNA strand exchange by the Hin serine recombinase. [PDF]
, 2016 DNA strand exchange by serine recombinases has been proposed to occur by a large-scale rotation of halves of the recombinase tetramer. Here we provide the first direct physical evidence for the subunit rotation mechanism for the Hin serine invertase ...
