Different epigenetic changes occur at different times in meiosis depending on whether the germ cells are male or female. The dashed lines represent lower levels of specific modifications than ...

Kumamoto University researchers have identified a novel heat shock factor (HSF), designated as HSF5, which plays a crucial role in the completion of meiosis and the activation of genes essential ...

As viewed from a human perspective, nature has done some ingenious engineering to overcome some of the obstacles it has faced. Take the evolution of sex, for instance. To make the move from ...

How is the same process responsible for genetic recombination and diversity also the cause of aneuploidy? Understanding the steps of meiosis is essential to learning how errors occur. Researchers ...

The findings add to researchers' understanding of male infertility by shedding light on the series of complex cellular ...

The process of meiosis happens in the male and female reproductive organs. As a cell divides to form gametes: ...

The chromatids (now also considered chromosomes) arrive at the opposite ends of the cell, and new nuclear membranes form. Mitosis, which describes only the division of the nucleus, is now complete.
