... chromosome pairing Gametogenesis Centromere Meiosis is a crucial event for sexual reproduction of eukaryotes to form haploid spores and gametes. Meiosis is characterized by a single round of pre-meiotic DNA duplication followed by two rounds of chromosome segregation. In this process, homologous...

... for acquisition of replication competence in primary oocytes. In striking contrast, we show that proliferation control during male gametogenesis is not linked to Cdc6 or Mcm2, but appears to be coordinated by the negative regulator Geminin with Cdt1 becoming rate-limiting in late prophase. Our data demonstrate...
