Meiosis is a cellular program that generates haploid gametes for sexual reproduction. While chromosome events that contribute to reducing ploidy (homologous chromosome pairing, synapsis, and recombination) are well conserved, their execution varies ...

Phospho-Regulation of Meiotic Prophase
Germ cells undergoing meiosis rely on an intricate network of surveillance mechanisms that govern the production of euploid gametes for successful sexual reproduction.

During prophase I a meiosis-specific proteinaceous tripartite structure, the synaptonemal complex (SC), forms a scaffold to connect homologous chromosomes along their lengths.

Chromosome Organization in Early Meiotic Prophase
One of the most fascinating aspects of meiosis is the extensive reorganization of the genome at the prophase of the first meiotic division (prophase I). The first steps of this reorganization are observed with the establishment of an axis structure, that

A conserved filamentous assembly underlies the structure of the meiotic chromosome axis. [PDF]
The meiotic chromosome axis plays key roles in meiotic chromosome organization and recombination, yet the underlying protein components of this structure are highly diverged.

Meiotic behavior of small chromosomes in maize
The typical behavior of chromosomes in meiosis is that homologous pairs synapse, recombine and then separate at anaphase I. At anaphase II, sister chromatids separate.

Cylindrospermopsin (CYN) is a cyanotoxin whose incidence has been increasing in the last decades. Due to its capacity to exert damage at different levels of the organism, it is considered a cytotoxin.

Meiotic recombination is closely linked with homologous pairing and synapsis. Previous studies have shown that HOMOLOGOUS PAIRING PROTEIN2 (HOP2), plays an essential role in homologous pairing and synapsis.

Evolution: On the Origin of Symmetry, Synapsis, and Species [PDF]
As two species diverge from one another, they become increasingly isolated by reproductive incompatibilities. New findings, however, undermine this evolutionary orthodoxy, showing that the first identified mammal speciation gene causes only transient incompatibility between diverging species.

Defending the genome from the enemy within:mechanisms of retrotransposon suppression in the mouse germline [PDF]
The viability of any species requires that the genome is kept stable as it is transmitted from generation to generation by the germ cells. One of the challenges to transgenerational genome stability is the potential mutagenic activity of transposable ...
