    A structure-function analysis of NOD, a kinesin-like protein from Drosopbila melanogaster

    We have analyzed a collection of 12 mutations in the Drosophila melanogaster nod locus, which encodes a kinesin-like protein involved in female meiotic chromosome segregation. The kinesin-like domain is at the N-...

    Hanging on to your homolog: the roles of pairing, synapsis and recombination in the maintenance of homolog adhesion

    Homologous chromosomes initially undergo weak alignments that bring homologous sequences into register during meiosis. These alignments can be facilitated by two types of mechanisms: interstitial homology sear...

    mei-41 is required for precocious anaphase in Drosophila females

    This paper reports on a new role for mei-41 in cell cycle control during meiosis. This function is revealed by the requirement of mei-41 for the precocious anaphase observed in crossover-defective mutants. Normal...

    Genetic background impacts the timing of synaptonemal complex breakdown in Drosophila melanogaster

    Experiments performed in different genetic backgrounds occasionally exhibit failure in experimental reproducibility. This is a serious issue in Drosophila where there are no standard control stocks. Here, we illu...
