We are pleased to report the publication of our review on the formation and resolution of meiotic chromosome entanglements and interlocks. It was a pleasure to work with Ofer Rog @TheRogLab and Iván Olaya @meiocyte_Ivan on this project. journals.biologists.com/jcs/…

Formation and resolution of meiotic chromosome entanglements and interlocks

Summary: During meiosis, chromosomes can become entangled or entrapped and subsequently form interlocks. Here, we review observations of interlocks and provide insights into mechanisms that resolve...

Happy to contribute our Spotlight on the latest paper from the @YanivElkouby lab cell.com/developmental-cell/…

When the anchor’s away, meiotic telomeres go astray

During meiosis, microtubules emanate from the centrosome to cluster telomeres in the bouquet configuration and facilitate chromosome pairing. In a recent issue of Science, Mytlis et al. establish...

Using a strain of mutant mice, Sloan Kettering Institute researchers discovered new info about how genetic mutations occur during meiosis. This could help them understand more about how miscarriages and genetic diseases occur. @Spo11Rulz @CellPressNews bit.ly/3cqPrlg
