Meiosis is a specialised form of cell division that produces haploid gametes from diploid progenitor cells, ensuring the maintenance of chromosome number across generations. Central to this process is ...

Meiotic recombination assures genetic variation during breeding. During meiotic prophase I, chromosomes are organized in a loop-base array by a proteinaceous structure called meiotic chromosome axis ...

During meiosis, reshuffling of genetic information between homologous chromosomes through meiotic recombination creates variable gametes and hence genetic variation in offsprings. Meiotic ...

A study published in Nature has established the first direct link between common genetic variants in mothers and the risk of embryo aneuploidy, a condition where cells carry the wrong number of ...

A double-strand break (DSB) is a type of DNA damage where both strands of the DNA helix are cut or broken at the same location, causing a complete discontinuity in the DNA molecule. Unrepaired or ...

A research team at the IPK Leibniz Institute has developed a method that enables the detailed observation of female ...
