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 ...

Ultrastructural analysis of chromatin in meiosis I plus II of rye (Secale cereale L.) [PDF]

, 2004
Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) proves to be an appropriate technique for imaging chromatin organization in meiosis I and II of rye (Secale cereale) down to a resolution of a few nanometers.

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.

Ex Vivo Spatiotemporal Characterization of Spermatogenesis in Mouse Testicular Organoids

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
To date, in vitro spermatogenesis remains a challenge in reproductive medicine. In this study, Sun et al. developed a promising in vitro strategy to generate testicular organoids that enable germ cells from newborn mice to enter meiosis, complete chromosome recombination and synapsis, and develop into haploid spermatids.

Pairing of homologous chromosomes in C. elegans meiosis requires DEB-1 - an orthologue of mammalian vinculin

Nucleus, 2019
During meiosis, homologous chromosomes undergo a dramatic movement in order to correctly align. This is a critical meiotic event but the molecular properties of this ‘chromosomal dance’ still remainunclear.

Sycp1 Is Not Required for Subtelomeric DNA Double-Strand Breaks but Is Required for Homologous Alignment in Zebrafish Spermatocytes

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
In meiotic prophase I, homologous chromosomes are bound together by the synaptonemal complex, in which two axial elements are connected by transverse filaments and central element proteins.

The conserved XPF:ERCC1-like Zip2:Spo16 complex controls meiotic crossover formation through structure-specific DNA binding. [PDF]

, 2019
In eukaryotic meiosis, generation of haploid gametes depends on the formation of inter-homolog crossovers, which enable the pairing, physical linkage, and eventual segregation of homologs in the meiosis I division.

EIF5A Couples Translational Control With Transcriptional Reprogramming Through Chromocenter Reorganization During Spermiogenesis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The translation factor Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 5A (eIF5A) is essential for male fertility in mice. It supports the translation of proteins crucial for heterochromatin organization and acrosome formation. eIF5A deficiency disrupts chromocenter integrity, increases chromatin accessibility, and causes transcriptional dysregulation ...
