This study shows zebrafish lack a strong meiotic checkpoint response to synapsis defects, leading to aneuploidy in offspring, unlike mammals and nematodes.

This study shows that reduced telomerase interaction with telomeres in yeast affects meiotic chromosome motion and gamete viability by altering recombination and cytoskeletal forces.

The paper uses live imaging and modeling to show that random diffusion and a small number of linkages suffice for homolog pairing during meiosis in budding yeast.

The paper investigates the role of Nup2 and Nup60 in meiosis and sporulation in yeast, showing Nup60's primary role in chromosome recruitment and Nup2's secondary role in counteracting Nup60 autoinhibition.

This paper shows that Rad21l1 is essential for female meiosis but not male meiosis in zebrafish, leading to sex reversal and reproductive defects in females.

This paper investigates the telomere bouquet in zebrafish meiosis, showing it coordinates synapsis, DSB formation, and homolog juxtaposition, with sex-specific effects of spo11 deletion on fertility.
