18 Feb 2021
Abstract excerpt
Significance During meiosis prophase I in mammals, a series of events occur, such as homologous recombination, DSB repair, crossover formation, XY body formation, and meiotic sex chromosome inactivation (MSCI). We report here that a male pachynema-specific (MAPS) protein is essential for prophase I progression in mouse spermatocytes. Maps knockout causes the demise of pachytene spermatocytes throughout early to...
