Abstract excerpt
Cohesins regulate attachment between sister chromatids in both mitosis and meiosis. In Drosophila, two complexes of cohesins have been identified that have been proposed to differentially affect arm cohesion and centromere cohesion. We describe sisters separate (ssep), a newly identified gene required for meiotic sister chromatid cohesion. We demonstrate that ssep corresponds to CG30383, a previously...
