The Impressionistic Landscape of Meiotic Recombination
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two high-resolution maps of meiotic recombination initiation sites across the genomes of budding yeast and mice illuminate broad similarities in the control of meiotic recombination in these diverse species but also highlight key differences. These studies offer new insights into the relationships between recombination, chromosome structure, and genome evolution.

Initiation of Ageing Process by Meiotic and Mitotic Recombination within the Ribosomal DNA Genes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
In the budding yeast of Saccharomyces cerevisiae the tandem repeated of rDNA genes are located onchromosome XII, which is in the nucleolus. There are different types of proteins in the nucleoluskeleton,silencing proteins have got important role in nucleolus.It is shown that meiotic recombination between nonsister chromatids in the rDNA genes are stronglysuppressed, and s...
متن کاملO-36: Genome Haplotyping and Detection of Meiotic Homologous Recombination Sites in Single Cells, A Generic Method for Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis
Background: Haplotyping is invaluable not only to identify genetic variants underlying a disease or trait, but also to study evolution and population history as well as meiotic and mitotic recombination processes. Current genome-wide haplotyping methods rely on genomic DNA that is extracted from a large number of cells. Thus far random allele drop out and preferential amplification artifacts of...
متن کاملThe Landscape of Mouse Meiotic Double-Strand Break Formation, Processing, and Repair
Heritability and genome stability are shaped by meiotic recombination, which is initiated via hundreds of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). The distribution of DSBs throughout the genome is not random, but mechanisms molding this landscape remain poorly understood. Here, we exploit genome-wide maps of mouse DSBs at unprecedented nucleotide resolution to uncover previously invisible spatial featu...
متن کاملVariation of the meiotic recombination landscape and properties over a broad evolutionary distance in yeasts
Meiotic recombination is a major factor of genome evolution, deeply characterized in only a few model species, notably the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Consequently, little is known about variations of its properties across species. In this respect, we explored the recombination landscape of Lachancea kluyveri, a protoploid yeast species that diverged from the Saccharomyces genus more than 1...
متن کاملP-230: Analysis of TEX15 Expression in Testis Tissues of Severe Oligozoospermic and Non-Obstructive Azoospermic Men Referred to Royan Institute
Background: TEX15 is a novel protein that is required for chromosomal synapsis and meiotic recombination. Human TEX15 is located on chromosome 8(8p12 region) and expressed in testis and ovary, as is its mouse ortholog. Loss of TEX15 function in mice causes early meiotic arrest in males but not in females. Specifically, TEX15 deficient spermatocytes exhibit a failure in chromosomal synapsis. In ...
