TL;DR: It is found that SYCE3 is required for fertility in both sexes and enables chromosome loading of the other CE–specific proteins, which in turn would promote synapsis between homologous chromosomes.

TL;DR: It is shown that homolog recognition or association initiates upon entry into meiotic prophase before axis assembly and double-strand break (DSB) formation, suggesting the intriguing possibility that homology recognition is achieved primarily by searching for homology in the chromosome architecture as defined by meiosis-specific cohesin rather than in the DNA sequence itself.

TL;DR: A positive feedback between telomere attachment and chromosome movement is uncovered, revealing a comprehensive regulatory network underlying meiosis-specific telomeres function in mammals.

TL;DR: It is found that the three different α‐kleisins present in meiotic cells show different dosage‐dependent requirements for STAG3 and thatSTAG3‐REC8 cohesin complexes have a critical role in supporting meiotic chromosome structure and functions.

TL;DR: Focusing on proteins coevolved with the microphthalmia‐associated transcription factor (MITF), the Notch pathway suppressor of hairless (RBP‐Jk/SuH) transcription factor is identified, and it is shown that RBP‐JK functions as an MITF cofactor.
