Journal ArticleDOI
Meiotic prophase arrest with failure of chromosome synapsis in mice deficient for Dmc1, a germline-specific RecA homolog.
Douglas L. Pittman,John Cobb,Kerry J. Schimenti,Lawriston A. Wilson,Deborah M. Cooper,Ember Brignull,Mary Ann Handel,John C. Schimenti +7 more
TL;DR: A null mutation is generated in the Dmc1 gene in mice and it is shown that homozygous mutant males and females are sterile with arrest of gametogenesis in the first meiotic prophase.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetics of mammalian meiosis: regulation, dynamics and impact on fertility
TL;DR: An understanding of the regulation of meiosis, coupled with advances in genomics, may ultimately allow us to diagnose the causes of meiotic-based infertilities, more wisely apply assisted reproductive technologies, and derive functional germ cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sex chromosomes, recombination, and chromatin conformation
Bruce D. McKee,Mary Ann Handel +1 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that sex chromosome condensation is a meiotic adaptation to prevent the initiation of potentially damaging recombination events in nonhomologous regions of the X and Y chromosome.
Journal ArticleDOI
The XY body: a specialized meiotic chromatin domain
TL;DR: The special features of the XY body might reflect absence of homology between the sex chromosomes, rather than any form of dosage compensation, and may also serve to mark parental origin of the paternal X chromosome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ultra-High Resolution 3D Imaging of Whole Cells
Fang Huang,Fang Huang,George Sirinakis,George Sirinakis,Edward S. Allgeyer,Edward S. Allgeyer,Lena K. Schroeder,Whitney C. Duim,Whitney C. Duim,Emil B. Kromann,Thomy Phan,Felix Rivera-Molina,Jordan R. Myers,Irnov Irnov,Mark D. Lessard,Yongdeng Zhang,Mary Ann Handel,Christine Jacobs-Wagner,C. Patrick Lusk,James E. Rothman,Derek Toomre,Martin J. Booth,Joerg Bewersdorf +22 more
TL;DR: The development of whole-cell 4Pi single-molecule switching nanoscopy (W-4PiSMSN), an optical nanoscope that allows imaging of three-dimensional structures at 10- to 20-nm resolution throughout entire mammalian cells, is presented.
