Meiosis is critically different from mitosis in that during meiosis, pairing and segregation of
homologous chromosomes occur. During meiosis, the morphology of sister chromatids …

Successful human reproduction relies on the well-orchestrated development of competent
gametes through the process of meiosis. The loading of cohesin, a multi-protein complex, is …

In triploid watermelon (Citrullus lanatus), the homologous chromosomes of germ cells are
disorder during meiosis, resulting in the failure of seeds formation and producing seedless …

During meiotic prophase, cohesin-dependent axial structures are formed in the
synaptonemal complex (SC). However, the functional correlation between these structures …

PLK1 is a serine/threonine kinase with crucial roles during mitosis. However, its involvement
during mammalian male meiosis remains largely unexplored. By inhibiting the kinase …

Chromosome condensation plays a pivotal role during faithful chromosome segregation,
hence, understanding the factors that drive condensation is crucial to get mechanistic insight …

The mitotic cohesin complex necessary for sister chromatid cohesion and chromatin loop
formation shows local and global association to chromosomes in response to DNA double …

DNA damage response mechanisms have meiotic roles that ensure successful gamete
formation. While completion of meiotic double-strand break (DSB) repair requires the …

In mitotic cells, establishment of sister chromatid cohesion requires acetylation of the
cohesin subunit SMC3 (acSMC3) by ESCO1 and/or ESCO2. Meiotic cohesin plays …
