The synaptonemal complex component corolla regulates meiotic crossover formation in Drosophila melanogaster.

Abstract excerpt

In Drosophila melanogaster females, as in most organisms, the segregation of homologous chromosomes in meiosis depends on the formation of crossovers between them. In most cases, crossovers require the synaptonemal complex (SC), a conserved multi-protein structure that forms between homologous chromosomes in early meiosis. Recent studies leveraging partial-loss-of-function alleles suggest that the SC plays a more...
