Preparation of Meiotic Chromosome Spreads from Mouse Oocytes for Assessment of Synapsis and Recombination
18 Jul 2025
Abstract excerpt
Three critical and interdependent processes define meiotic prophase I: homologous chromosomes must pair together, a proteinaceous structure called the synaptonemal complex forms to tether homologs together (synapsis), and homologs undergo recombination, reciprocally exchanging genetic material to form crossovers (COs). Errors in these processes can result in premature ovarian insufficiency, aneuploidy, and...
