During the early meiotic prophase, connections are established between chromosomes and
cytoplasmic motors via a nuclear envelope bridge, known as a LINC (linker of …

How eukaryotic cells control their duplication is a fascinating example of how a biological
system self-organizes specific activities to temporally order cellular events. During cell cycle …

High temperatures interfere with meiotic recombination and the subsequent progression of
meiosis in plants, but few genes involved in meiotic thermotolerance have been …

Meiotic progression requires precise orchestration, such that one round of DNA replication is
followed by two meiotic divisions. The order and timing of meiotic events is controlled …

The meiotic TopoVI B subunit (MTopVIB) plays an essential role in double-strand break
formation in mouse (Mus musculus), Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), and rice (Oryza …

Meiosis is a specialized style of cell division conserved in eukaryotes, particularly designed
for the production of gametes. A huge number of studies to date have demonstrated how …

Accurate gametogenesis requires the establishment of the telomere bouquet, an
evolutionarily conserved, 3D chromosomal arrangement. In this spatial configuration …

Telomerase is the enzyme that lengthens telomeres and is tightly regulated by a variety of
means to maintain genome integrity. Several DNA helicases function at telomeres, and we …

The auxin-inducible degron (AID) system is a powerful tool to induce targeted degradation of
proteins in eukaryotic model organisms. The efficiency of the existing Schizosaccharomyces …

In mitosis, while the importance of kinetochore (KT)-microtubule (MT) attachment has been
known for many years, increasing evidence suggests that telomere dysfunctions also perturb …
