How is the same process responsible for genetic recombination and diversity also the cause of aneuploidy? Understanding the steps of meiosis is essential to learning how errors occur. Researchers ...

During meiosis, sister chromatids produced by chromosome duplication are held together by Rec8, a meiosis-specific cohesion protein. Rec8 joins the whole length of the sister chromatids together ...

It met this challenge by devising (again, speaking from a human perspective) a system by which parent cells incorporate genetic information ... This solution is called meiosis.

Meiosis. This half of the screen illustrates ... mitosis results in a parent cell dividing into two daughter cells. The genetic information within each of these daughter cells is identical.

In a study published in Nature, researchers report the successful in vitro reconstitution of meiotic DNA double-strand breaks ...

Researchers led by Prof. TONG Minghan from the Center for Excellence in Molecular Cell Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, collaborating with Prof. HUANG Ying from Xinhua Hospital, Shanghai ...
