carcinogenesis and diseases. They are specialized chromosome loci essential to ensure …

Contiguous genome sequence assemblies will help us to realize the full potential of crop
translational genomics. Recent advances in sequencing technologies, especially long-read …

Centromeres are essential regions of eukaryotic chromosomes responsible for the formation
of kinetochore complexes, which connect to spindle microtubules during cell division …

Meiosis is a conserved eukaryotic cell division that produces spores required for sexual
reproduction. During meiosis, chromosomes pair and undergo programmed DNA double …

Meiotic recombination is a key biological process in plant evolution and breeding, as it
generates genetic diversity in each generation through the formation of crossovers (COs) …

Accurate segregation of homologous chromosomes during meiosis depends on both the
presence and the regulated placement of crossovers (COs). The centromere effect, or CO …

Meiotic recombination is a prominent force shaping genome evolution, and understanding
the causes for varying recombination landscapes within and between species has remained …

Meiotic recombination is not only a key mechanism for sexual adaptation in eukaryotes but
crucial for the accumulation of beneficial alleles in breeding populations. The effective …
