Seeing meiotic chromosomes without seeing them

Abstract

Cytological visualization of meiotic chromosomes has revealed the fundamental basis for Mendelian inheritance and for the exceptions to Mendel’s rules provided by genetic linkage and recombination as well as revealing and describing many complex aspects of chromosome morphogenesis (for recent review, see [1]). As a complement to cytological approaches, our laboratory has developed assays which provide other ways of probing chromosome organization and behavior.
