Eukaryogenesis From FECA to LECA: Radical Steps Along the Way

open access: yesBioEssays, Volume 47, Issue 11, November 2025.
How did the last eukaryotic common ancestor (LECA) population evolve? Recent evidence shows an Asgard archaeon‐like organism acquiring a bacterium, the future mitochondrion, going from symbiosis to endosymbiosis. I postulate that almost all salient LECA characteristics could have resulted from the ensuing enhanced ATP generation and internal reactive ...

A meiotic mystery in experimental hybrids of the eastern mole vole (Ellobius tancrei, Mammalia, Rodentia)

open access: yesВавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2019
Chromosomal rearrangements can lead to the formation of new stable karyotypes, nevertheless changing the architectonics of the nucleus. The differences in locations might promote Robertsonian (Rb) translocations and encourage meiotic drive in favour of ...

Mixing and Matching Chromosomes during Female Meiosis

open access: yesCells, 2020
Meiosis is a key event in the manufacturing of an oocyte. During this process, the oocyte creates a set of unique chromosomes by recombining paternal and maternal copies of homologous chromosomes, and by eliminating one set of chromosomes to become ...

Interplay between synaptonemal complex, homologous recombination, and centromeres during mammalian meiosis. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2012
The intimate synapsis of homologous chromosome pairs (homologs) by synaptonemal complexes (SCs) is an essential feature of meiosis. In many organisms, synapsis and homologous recombination are interdependent: recombination promotes SC formation and SCs ...

Evolutionary history of the mammalian synaptonemal complex [PDF]

open access: yesChromosoma, 2016
The synaptonemal complex (SC), a key structure of meiosis that assembles during prophase I, has been initially described 60 years ago. Since then, the structure has been described in many sexually reproducing organisms. However, the SC protein components were characterized in only few model organisms.

m6A Reader hnRNPA2B1 Modulates Late Pachytene Progression in Male Meiosis Through Post‐Transcriptional Control

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 38, October 13, 2025.
As an m6A reader, hnRNPA2B1 predominantly regulates specific transcripts (e.g., Ep400, Rrs1) that are essential for chromosome organization and remodeling in an m6A‐dependent manner. Furthermore, it is demonstrated to interact with factors involved in mRNA processing and translation. This dual functionality is pivotal for ensuring the proper occurrence

EP300‐interacting inhibitor of differentiation 3 is required for spermatogenesis in mice

open access: yesAndrology, Volume 13, Issue 7, Page 1901-1912, October 2025.
Abstract Background Mammalian spermatogenesis is a highly complex process of cell proliferation, meiosis, and differentiation. A series of genes are expressed in an orderly and precise manner to ensure spermatogenesis, with chromatin undergoing intricate changes throughout.

New method for visualization of C-heterochromatin in synaptonemal complex spreads

open access: yesComparative Cytogenetics, 2013
DAPI staining of the metaphase chromosomes pretreated with barium hydroxide generates a C-like banding pattern. In this work a protocol for visualizing similar pattern at the synaptonemal complex (SC) spreads after immunostaining is suggested.

Comparative Genomics of Sex‐Determination‐Related Genes Reveals Shared Evolutionary Patterns Between Bivalves and Mammals, but Not Fruit Flies

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 20, October 2025.
ABSTRACT The molecular basis of sex determination (SD), while being extensively studied in model organisms, remains poorly understood in many animal groups. Bivalves, a diverse class of molluscs with a variety of reproductive modes, represent an ideal yet challenging clade for investigating SD and the evolution of sexual systems.

Manipulating Unisexual–Sexual Reproduction Transition to Engineer Genome‐Reconstructed Polyploids

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 33, September 4, 2025.
This study developed an efficient approach to generate genome‐reconstructed polyploids involving unisexual gynogenetic Carassius gibelio, sexual C. auratus, and sexual C. cuvieri. The selected superior clone inherited gynogenesis ability of C. gibelio and herpesvirus resistance of wild C.
