Homologous chromosome recognition via nonspecific interactions

2023-06-11

Abstract excerpt

In many organisms, most notably Drosophila , homologous chromosomes in somatic cells associate with each other, a phenomenon known as somatic homolog pairing. Unlike in meiosis, where homology is read out at the level of DNA sequence complementarity, somatic homolog pairing takes place without double strand breaks or strand invasion, thus requiring some other mechanism for homologs to recognize each other. Severa...
