Zebrafish lack a strong meiotic checkpoint response to defects in chromosome synapsis
2025-03-19
Abstract excerpt
The synaptonemal complex (SC) is a meiosis-specific structure that aligns homologous chromosomes and facilitates the repair of meiotic DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). Defects in SC assembly or unrepaired DSBs trigger a prophase I checkpoint to prevent the formation of aneuploid gametes. The strength of these checkpoints varies among species and between sexes. Whether zebrafish ( Danio rerio ) have prophase I sur...
