The meiotic chromosome axis is a proteinaceous structure along which sister chromatids are arranged in a loop-base array during meiotic prophase I. In diverse species including plants, chromosome axis components have been shown to be critical for synapsis and meiotic recombination and hence essentia...
Meiosis is a highly complex process that underpins recombination in sexually reproducing organisms. Recent genomics studies suggest that up to several thousand genes/proteins contribute to the meiotic pathway, yet relatively few have been functionally characterised. Our understanding of the physical...
ChIP-seq of ASY1 was carried out on meiotic-stage floral buds of Arabidopsis using an a-ASY1 antibody. The experiment aims to determine the genome-wide profile of ASY1. ASY1 is a component of the chromosome axis and is expressed exclusively during meiosis. Two negative controls were used to test the...
We performed ChIP-seq for the meiotic strand exchange protein DMC1, which marks an early stage in the meiotic recombination pathway, and the chromosome axis protein ASY1, which promotes interhomolog synapsis and recombination in plants, using tissue collected from immature pre-emergence spikes from ...
Meiosis is a complex cell division program reducing chromosome number as a prerequisite for sexual reproduction and at the same time leading to a new combination of parental alleles contributing to biodiversity. Little is known about how the distinct order of the molecular processes of meiosis are o...
