Abstract: Most eukaryotes share core meiosis-specific genes, suggesting meiosis evolved once in the last eukaryotic common ancestor (LECA). These genes are master regulators of meiotic recombination, ensuring genetically diverse lineages. However, meiosis in organisms outside the… read more here.

Abstract: Successful meiotic recombination, and thus fertility, depends on conserved axis proteins that organize chromosomes into arrays of anchored chromatin loops and provide a protected environment for DNA exchange. Here, we show that the stereotypic chromosomal… read more here.
