Studies On The Mechanism Of Homolog Pairing In Drosophila Male Meiosis, Jui-He Tsai

Doctoral Dissertations

Drosophila male is an example of achiasmatic meiosis which lacks crossingover and chiasmata during meiosis. Previous studies showed that homologous pairing of both euchromatin and centromeres is lost during middle prophase I, however, homologs are still connected as they form bivalents. The X-Y pair utilizes a specific repeated sequence within the heterochromatic ribosomal DNA blocks as a pairing site. No pairing sites have yet been identified for the autosomes. To search for such sites, we utilized probes specifically targeting heterochromatin regions to assay pairing sequences and behavior in meiosis by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). We found that the fourth …
