Abstract excerpt
A polarized chromosomal arrangement with clustered telomeres in a meiotic prophase nucleus is often called bouquet and is thought to be important for the pairing of homologous chromosomes. Fluorescence in situ hybridization in fission yeast indicated that chromosomal loci are positioned in an ord...
