The raison d'être of meiosis is shuffling of genetic information via Mendelian segregation
and, within individual chromosomes, by DNA crossing-over. These outcomes are enabled …

The study of homologous recombination has its historical roots in meiosis. In this context,
recombination occurs as a programmed event that culminates in the formation of crossovers …

Meiotic crossovers are limited in number and are prevented from occurring close to each
other by crossover interference. In many species, crossover number is subject to sexual …

Meiotic crossovers (COs) have intriguing patterning properties, including CO interference,
the tendency of COs to be well-spaced along chromosomes, and heterochiasmy, the marked …

Recombination is a prominent feature of meiosis in which it plays an important role in
increasing genetic diversity during inheritance. Additionally, in most organisms …

Asymmetry of investment in crop research leads to knowledge gaps and lost opportunities to
accelerate genetic gain through identifying new sources and combinations of traits and …

The synaptonemal complex is a tripartite proteinaceous ultrastructure that forms between
homologous chromosomes during prophase I of meiosis in the majority of eukaryotes. It is …

Meiosis is the cell division that reshuffles genetic information between generations.
Recently, much progress has been made in understanding this process; in particular, the …

Telomerase negative immortal cancer cells elongate telomeres through the Alternative
Lengthening of Telomeres (ALT) pathway. While sustained telomeric replicative stress is …

Meiosis halves diploid chromosome numbers to haploid levels that are essential for sexual
reproduction in most eukaryotes. Meiotic recombination ensures the formation of bivalents …
