Abstract excerpt
The synaptonemal complex (SC) is a meiosis-specific structure that aligns homologous chromosomes and promotes the repair of meiotic DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). To investigate how defects in SC formation affect gametogenesis in zebrafish, we analyzed mutations in two genes encoding core SC components: syce2 and sycp1. In syce2 mutants, chromosomes exhibit partial synapsis, primarily at sub-telomeric regions,...
