Synaptonemal complex karyotype of zebrafish [PDF]
Heredity, 2003 Meiotic cells of zebrafish have been prepared to show synaptonemal complexes (SCs) by light and electron microscopy. Completely paired SCs from both spermatocytes and oocytes were measured to produce an SC karyotype. The SC karyotype resembles the somatic karyotype of zebrafish and has no recognisable sex bivalent.

PLoS Genetics, 2009 In mammals, the synaptonemal complex is a structure required to complete crossover recombination. Although suggested by cytological work, in vivo links between the structural proteins of the synaptonemal complex and the proteins of the recombination ...

C14ORF39/SIX6OS1 is a constituent of the synaptonemal complex and is essential for mouse fertility
Nature Communications, 2016 The synaptonemal complex is a meiosis-specific proteinaceous structure that supports homologous chromosome pairs during meiosis. Here, the authors show that SIX6OS1 (of previously unknown function) is part of the synaptonemal complex central element and ...

A molecular cell biology toolkit for the study of meiosis in the silkworm Bombyx mori
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2023 Meiosis is usually described as 4 essential and sequential processes: (1) homolog pairing; (2) synapsis, mediated by the synaptonemal complex; (3) crossing over; and (4) segregation.

PLoS Genetics, 2020 Meiotic recombination is essential for faithful segregation of homologous chromosomes during gametogenesis. The progression of recombination is associated with dynamic changes in meiotic chromatin structures.

A BIRD´S-EYE VIEW OF CHROMOSOMES DURING MEIOTIC PROPHASE I [PDF]
BAG. Journal of Basic and Applied Genetics, 2022 The present review aims to summarize the research carried out in relation to meiosis in birds, especially by observing the protein axes of the chromosomes in prophase I of meiosis. This line of research, initially developed in Argentina, has provided key

Synaptonemal Complexities and Commonalities [PDF]
Molecular Cell, 2003 Formation of synaptonemal complex and high levels of homologous recombination are the hallmarks of meiotic prophase. The relationship between these two processes has been the subject of intense study for nearly 50 years. Recent findings highlight the differences and commonalities of this relationship in different species.

Human disease locus discovery and mapping to molecular pathways through phylogenetic profiling
Molecular Systems Biology, 2013 Genes with common profiles of the presence and absence in disparate genomes tend to function in the same pathway. By mapping all human genes into about 1000 clusters of genes with similar patterns of conservation across eukaryotic phylogeny, we ...

Surveillance of cohesin-supported chromosome structure controls meiotic progression
Nature Communications, 2020 Meiosis-specific cohesins and the synaptonemal complex are essential for meiotic chromosome structure and function. Here the authors show that continued surveillance of these chromosome structures controls meiotic progression by regulating CHK-2, a ...

Synaptonemal complex components promote centromere pairing in pre-meiotic germ cells. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2013 Mitosis and meiosis are two distinct cell division programs. During mitosis, sister chromatids separate, whereas during the first meiotic division, homologous chromosomes pair and then segregate from each other.
