Abstract excerpt
Mei-P26, a member of the TRIM-NHL family, plays a pivotal role in Drosophila germline development, including female meiosis. However, its role in male meiosis remains unclear. We observed abnormal spermatid cysts comprising 16 cells in mei-P26 mutant testes, which resulted from spermatid differentiation in the absence of meiosis. The same phenotype was observed in the cysts derived from spermatocytes subjected to...
