Abstract excerpt
The frequency of aneuploid gamete formation increases with maternal age, yet the effects of genetic variants on meiotic chromosome segregation accuracy during aging remain poorly understood. Using the multicellular organism Caenorhabditis elegans, we investigate the impact of mutations in the conserved cohesin complex on age-associated meiotic errors. Point mutations in the head domain of the cohesin component...
