β¦ Synopsis
Premeiotic association of homologous chromosomes in the yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been shown, by means of fluorescent in situ hybridization Time course and mutant studies show that the premeiotic associations are disrupted upon entry into meiosis, to be reestablished shortly before synapsis. The data are consistent with a model in which multiple, unstable interactions bring homologues together, prior to stable joining by rec~mbination(~)-

## Abstract **Background** Slk19 is a coiledβcoil protein, which locates to the kinetochores of __S. cerevisiae__. Most cells lacking Slk19 undergo incomplete meiosis and form dyads during sporulation. Endogenous chromosomes appeared to be predominantly divided in an equational manner during single
We have utilized spreading methods as well as serial sectioning three-dimensional reconstruction to examine meiotic chromosome behavior in cells homozygous for the rud3-1 mutation in Coprinus cinereus. Comparison of 42 wild-type nuclei that had been spread, stained with silver, and viewed by electro
