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 …

Approximately 10%–15% of couples are infertile, and a male factor is involved in almost half
of these cases. This observation is due in part to defects in spermatogenesis, and the …

Genome‐wide recombination is essential for genome stability, evolution, and speciation.
Mouse Tex11, an X‐linked meiosis‐specific gene, promotes meiotic recombination and …

Despite the identification of an increasing number of candidate genes involved in
spermatogenesis, the armamentarium of diagnostic genetic tests in male infertility remains …

In meiosis, homologous chromosome synapsis is mediated by a supramolecular protein
structure, the synaptonemal complex (SC), that assembles between homologous …

Human infertility is often classified as idiopathic in both males and females. Meiotic errors
may account for at least part of these cases. As the synaptonemal complex (SC, a meiosis …

BACKGROUND Miscarriage describes the spontaneous loss of pregnancy before the
threshold of viability; the vast majority occur before 12 weeks of gestation. Miscarriage …

Microdeletions of the Y chromosome (YCMs), Klinefelter syndrome (47, XXY), and CFTR
mutations are known genetic causes of severe male infertility, but the majority of cases …

Melatonin has been reported to be an important endogenous hormone for regulating
neurogenesis, immunityand the biological clock. Recently, the effects of melatonin on neural …

The objective was to determine the effect of dietary intake on follicle and oocyte morphology
in unstimulated and superovulated ewes. Fifty-four ewes were fed grass meal at 0.5, 1.0 or …
