Abstract: A universal feature of early oocyte differentiation is formation of the Balbiani body (Bb), a large granule of specific mRNAs, proteins, and organelles. The zebrafish Bb establishes oocyte animal-vegetal polarity by specifying the oocyte vegetal… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract As an evolutionarily conserved process, the bouquet stage during meiosis was discovered over a century ago, and active research on this important stage continues. Since the discovery of the first bouquet-related protein Taz1p in… read more here.

Abstract: In most eukaryotes, the meiotic chromosomal bouquet (comprising clustered chromosome ends) provides an ordered chromosome arrangement that facilitates pairing and recombination between homologous chromosomes. In the protist Tetrahymena thermophila, the meiotic prophase nucleus stretches enormously… read more here.

Abstract: Meiosis is a specialized cell-division process in germ cells that ensures proper segregation of a single haploid genome into each gamete from a diploid precursor cell. This process ensures that the embryo receives the correct… read more here.
