Abstract: Separation of duplicated spindle poles is the first step in forming the mitotic spindle. Kinesin-5 crosslinks and slides anti-parallel microtubules (MTs), but it is unclear how these two activities contribute to the first steps in… read more here.

Abstract: Homologs of PUTATIVE RECOMBINATION INITIATION DEFECT 1 (PRD1) are essential for meiotic double-strand break (DSB) formation in mouse (Mus musculus), Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), and rice (Oryza sativa). Latest work reveals that the rice PRD1 also… read more here.
