- 1From:BMC Biology (Vol. 21, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Ovarian folliculogenesis is a tightly regulated process leading to the formation of functional oocytes and involving successive quality control mechanisms that monitor chromosomal DNA integrity and meiotic...
- 2From:PLoS Genetics (Vol. 19, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedThe tumor suppressor BRCA1-BARD1 complex regulates many cellular processes; of critical importance to its tumor suppressor function is its role in genome integrity. Although RING E3 ubiquitin ligase activity is the only...
- 3From:PLoS Genetics (Vol. 19, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedProgrammed DNA double-strand break (DSB) formation is essential for achieving accurate chromosome segregation during meiosis. DSB repair timing and template choice are tightly regulated. However, little is known about...
- 4From:PLoS Genetics (Vol. 19, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedThe conserved two-component XMAP215/TACC modulator of microtubule stability is required in multiple animal phyla for acentrosomal spindle assembly during oocyte meiotic cell division. In C. elegans, XMAP215/zyg-9 and...
- 5From:PLoS Genetics (Vol. 19, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedMeiotic recombination is a driving force for genome evolution, deeply characterized in a few model species, notably in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Interestingly, Zip2, Zip3, Zip4, Spo16, Msh4, and Msh5,...
- 6From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 17, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedThe objectives of this study were to evaluate the effect of perfluoroalkyl substances on early embryonic development and apoptosis in blastocysts using a porcine in vitro model. Porcine oocytes (N = 855) collected from...
- 7From:PLoS Genetics (Vol. 18, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedDuring meiosis, recombination between homologous chromosomes (homologs) generates crossovers that promote proper segregation at the first meiotic division. Recombination is initiated by Spo11-catalyzed DNA double strand...
- 8From:PLoS Genetics (Vol. 18, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedFor meiosis I, homologous chromosomes must be paired into bivalents. Maintenance of homolog conjunction in bivalents until anaphase I depends on crossovers in canonical meiosis. However, instead of crossovers, an...
- 9From:PLoS Genetics (Vol. 18, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedMeiotic drivers bias gametogenesis to ensure their transmission into more than half the offspring of a heterozygote. In Schizosaccharomyces pombe, wtf meiotic drivers destroy the meiotic products (spores) that do not...
- 10From:PLoS Genetics (Vol. 18, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedDuring mitosis, centrosomes serve as microtubule organizing centers that guide the formation of a bipolar spindle. However, oocytes of many species lack centrosomes; how meiotic spindles establish and maintain these...
- 11From:Obesity, Fitness & Wellness Week2022 NOV 5 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Obesity, Fitness & Wellness Week -- New research on Life Science is the subject of a report. According to news reporting originating from Groton,...
- 12From:PLoS Genetics (Vol. 18, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedMeiosis in males of higher dipterans is achiasmate. In their spermatocytes, pairing of homologs into bivalent chromosomes does not include synaptonemal complex and crossover formation. While crossovers preserve homolog...
- 13From:BMC Genomics (Vol. 23, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Cellular events during meiosis can differ between inbred lines in maize. Substantial differences in the average numbers of chiasmata and double-strand breaks (DSBs) per meiotic cell have been documented...
- 14From:PLoS Biology (Vol. 20, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedCell division, wherein 1 cell divides into 2 daughter cells, is fundamental to all living organisms. Cytokinesis, the final step in cell division, begins with the formation of an actomyosin contractile ring, positioned...
- 15From:PLoS Genetics (Vol. 18, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedDuring meiosis, crossover rates are not randomly distributed along the chromosome and their location may have a strong impact on the functioning and evolution of the genome. To date, the broad diversity of recombination...
- 16From:PLoS Genetics (Vol. 18, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedEnsuring balanced distribution of chromosomes in gametes, meiotic recombination is essential for fertility in most sexually reproducing organisms. The repair of the programmed DNA double strand breaks that initiate...
- 17From:PLoS Genetics (Vol. 18, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedDuring meiosis, DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) occur throughout the genome, a subset of which are repaired to form reciprocal crossovers between chromosomes. Crossovers are essential to ensure balanced chromosome...
- 18From:PLoS Genetics (Vol. 18, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedRecombinases RAD51 and its meiosis-specific paralog DMC1 accumulate on single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) of programmed DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) in meiosis. Here we used three-color dSTORM microscopy, and a mouse model...
- 19From:PLoS Genetics (Vol. 18, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedGenome duplication, which leads to polyploidy, poses challenges to the meiotic segregation of the now-multiple homologous chromosome copies. Genome scan data showed previously that adaptation to polyploid meiosis in...
- 20From:BMC Medical Genomics (Vol. 15, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) is the most severe disease in male infertility, but the genetic causes for majority of NOA remain unknown. Methods Two Chinese NOA-affected patients were recruited to...
