Meiotic recombination assures genetic variation during breeding. During meiotic prophase I, chromosomes are organized in a loop-base array by a proteinaceous structure called meiotic chromosome axis ...

Meiosis is a specialised form of cell division that produces haploid gametes from diploid progenitor cells, ensuring the maintenance of chromosome number across generations. Central to this process is ...

Meiotic recombination is believed to produce greater genetic variation despite the fact that deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)-replication errors are a major source of mutations. In some vertebrates, ...

During meiosis, reshuffling of genetic information between homologous chromosomes through meiotic recombination creates variable gametes and hence genetic variation in offsprings. Meiotic ...

During meiosis, paternal and maternal chromosomes duplicate, pair, and exchange parts of their DNA in a process called meiotic recombination. In order to mediate this exchange of genetic material, ...

This study is reported by Dr. Qianwen Sun’s group from Tsinghua University, Dr. Wei Li’s group from Guangzhou Medical University, Dr. Hui Jiang’s group from Peking University Third Hospital, and Wei ...

A double-strand break (DSB) is a type of DNA damage where both strands of the DNA helix are cut or broken at the same location, causing a complete discontinuity in the DNA molecule. Unrepaired or ...

During sexual reproduction, haploid gametes (i.e. eggs and sperm) are generated from diploid precursors through the specialized cell division of meiosis. Meiosis reduces ploidy by following one round ...

Meixia Zhao, assistant professor of Biology, has been recognized as one of the top young faculty in her field by the National Science Foundation (NSF) with the award of a $900,094 CAREER grant from ...
