Journal ArticleDOI
Meiotic chromosomes: integrating structure and function.
Denise Zickler,Nancy Kleckner +1 more
TL;DR: The current article reviews recent information on diverse aspects of chromosome morphogenesis, notably relationships between sisters, development of axial structure, and variations in chromatin status in an historical context.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recombination, Pairing, and Synapsis of Homologs during Meiosis
Denise Zickler,Nancy Kleckner +1 more
TL;DR: This review provides an overview of recombination-mediated processes in physical and functional linkage with meiotic axial chromosome structure, with interplay in both directions, before, during, and after formation and dissolution of the synaptonemal complex.
Journal ArticleDOI
The leptotene-zygotene transition of meiosis
Denise Zickler,Nancy Kleckner +1 more
TL;DR: The leptotene/zygotene transition of meiosis, as defined by classical cytological studies, is the period when homologous chromosomes begin to be close together or touching over portions of their lengths, and includes the bouquet stage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Meiotic silencing by unpaired DNA
TL;DR: This work describes a related process, meiotic silencing by unpaired DNA (MSUD), which may provide insights into the function of genes necessary for meiosis, including genes for which ablation in vegetative life would be lethal.
Journal ArticleDOI
Early Decision: Meiotic Crossover Interference prior to Stable Strand Exchange and Synapsis
Douglas K. Bishop,Denise Zickler +1 more
TL;DR: Recent studies in budding yeast show the CO/NCO designation occurs before stable strand exchange and thus well before Holliday junction resolution, indicating Chromosome synapsis occurs after CO/ NCO designation and is not required for the regulated distribution of COs along chromosomes manifested as CO interference.
