mei-38 is required for chromosome segregation during meiosis in Drosophila females.

Genetics - 1 Sept 2008

Wu Changjian, Singaram Vinod, McKim Kim S

Abstract excerpt

Meiotic chromosome segregation occurs in Drosophila oocytes on an acentrosomal spindle, which raises interesting questions regarding spindle assembly and function. One is how to organize a bipolar spindle without microtubule organizing centers at the poles. Another question is how to orient the chromosomes without kinetochore capture of microtubules that grow from the poles. We have characterized the mei-38 gene...
