Abstract excerpt
Meiotic prophase is characterized by a dynamic program in which germ cells undergo a complex series of associations and dissociations of protein complexes that drive assembly, remodeling, and disassembly of meiosis-specific chromosome structures and dramatic changes in chromosome compaction. Failure to properly coordinate these processes can result in improper chromosome segregation, producing aneuploid gametes...
