Diversification and recurrent adaptation of the synaptonemal complex in Drosophila. by Rana Zakerzade, Ching-Ho Chang, Kamalakar Chatla, Ananya Krishnapura, Samuel P Appiah, Jacki Zhang, Robert L Unckless, Justin P Blumenstiel, Doris Bachtrog, Kevin H-C Wei

“…The synaptonemal complex (SC) is a protein-rich structure essential for meiotic recombination and faithful chromosome segregation. Acting like a zipper to paired homologous chromosomes during early prophase I, the complex is a symmetrical structure where central elements are connected on two sides by the transverse filaments to the chromatin-anchoring lateral elements. …”

Molecular-cytogenetic analysis of triticale and wheat lines with introgressions of the tribe Triticeae species genetic material by O. A. Orlovskaya, I. N. Leonova, I. G. Adonina, E. A. Salina, L. V. Khotyleva, V. K. Shumny

“…Comparative analysis of the structure of chromosomes by GISH and FISH methods, microsatellite- and chromosome-specific markers revealed that hybridization of triticale with genome-substitution forms of wheat leads to the reorganization of the genome, including both the introgression of foreign material and wheat chromosome rearrangements, which lead to new combinations of genetic loci. …”
