Meiosis through three centuries
Meiosis is the specialized cellular program that underlies gamete formation for sexual reproduction. It is therefore not only interesting but also a...
-
Epigenetic regulation during meiosis and crossover
Meiosis is a distinctive type of cell division that reorganizes genetic material between generations. The initial stages of meiosis consist of...

Kinesin KIF3A regulates meiotic progression and spindle assembly in oocyte meiosis
Kinesin family member 3A (KIF3A) is a microtubule-oriented motor protein that belongs to the kinesin-2 family for regulating intracellular transport...
-
Kinesin KIFC3 is essential for microtubule stability and cytokinesis in oocyte meiosis
KIFC3 is a member of Kinesin-14 family motor proteins, which play a variety of roles such as centrosome cohesion, cytokinesis, vesicles...

Assessing data analysis techniques in a high-throughput meiosis-like induction detection system
BackgroundStrategies to understand meiotic processes have relied on cytogenetic and mutant analysis. However, thus far in vitro meiosis induction is...

Kinesin-7 CENP-E mediates chromosome alignment and spindle assembly checkpoint in meiosis I
In eukaryotes, meiosis is the genetic basis for sexual reproduction, which is important for chromosome stability and species evolution. The defects...

NLRP4E regulates actin cap formation through SRC and CDC42 during oocyte meiosis
BackgroundMembers of the nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain, leucine rich repeat and pyrin domain containing (NLRP) family regulate various...

Meiosis solved the problem of gerrymandering
Gerrymandering, the structuring of voting districts to favour certain politicians and political groups, undermines fair elections and presents a...
-
Technology-driven approaches for meiosis research in tomato and wild relatives
Meiosis is a specialized cell division during reproduction where one round of chromosomal replication is followed by genetic recombination and two...
-
Female meiosis in plants, and differential recombination in the two sexes: a perspective
Studying female meiosis in plants have eluded the plant cytogeneticists owing to the technical challenges faced while handling and ensuring an intact...
-
A practical reference for studying meiosis in the model ciliate Tetrahymena thermophila
Meiosis is a critical cell division program that produces haploid gametes for sexual reproduction. Abnormalities in meiosis are often causes of...

Ethylene and polyamines interact in rice spikelet degeneration in response to water stress during meiosis
This study aimed to investigate whether an interaction existed between ethylene and polyamines (PAs), which mediated the effects of water stress (WS)...

Whole-Mount Immunofluorescence Staining to Visualize Cell Cycle Progression in Mouse Oocyte Meiosis
Whole-mount immunofluorescence allows direct visualization of the cellular architecture within cells. Here, we apply this technique to mouse oocytes...
-
Global phosphoproteomic analysis identified key kinases regulating male meiosis in mouse
Meiosis, a highly conserved process in organisms from fungi to mammals, is subjected to protein phosphorylation regulation. Due to the low abundance...

Achiasmatic meiosis in the unisexual Amazon molly, Poecilia formosa
Unisexual reproduction, which generates clonal offspring, is an alternative strategy to sexual breeding and occurs even in vertebrates. A wide range...
-
Dual roles of R-loops in the formation and processing of programmed DNA double-strand breaks during meiosis
BackgroundMeiotic recombination is initiated by Spo11-dependent programmed DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) that are preferentially concentrated...
-
The crucial role of HFM1 in regulating FUS ubiquitination and localization for oocyte meiosis prophase I progression in mice
BackgroundHelicase for meiosis 1 (HFM1), a putative DNA helicase expressed in germ-line cells, has been reported to be closely associated with...

Telomere and subtelomere high polymorphism might contribute to the specificity of homologous recognition and pairing during meiosis in barley in the context of breeding
Barley ( Hordeum vulgare ) is one of the most popular cereal crops globally. Although it is a diploid species, (2 n = 2x = 14) the study of its genome...

Human-specific gene CT47 blocks PRMT5 degradation to lead to meiosis arrest
Exploring the functions of human-specific genes (HSGs) is challenging due to the lack of a tractable genetic model system. Testosterone is essential...

Yeast polyubiquitin unit regulates synaptonemal complex formation and recombination during meiosis
Ubiquitin is highly conserved in most eukaryotes and involved in diverse physiological processes, including cell division, protein quality control,...
