Direct evidence of a role for heterochromatin in meiotic chromosome segregation.

Cell - 12 Jul 1996

Dernburg A F, Sedat J W, Hawley R S

Abstract excerpt

We have investigated the mechanism that enables achiasmate chromosomes to segregate from each other at meiosis I in D. melanogaster oocytes. Using novel cytological methods, we asked whether nonexchange chromosomes are paired prior to disjunction. Our results show that the heterochromatin of homologous chromosomes remains associated throughout prophase until metaphase I regardless of whether they undergo...
