The Multiple Roles of Cohesin in Meiotic Chromosome Morphogenesis and Pairing

Sister chromatid cohesion, mediated by cohesin complexes, is laid down during DNA replication and is essential for the accurate segregation of chromosomes. Previous studies indicated that, in addition to their cohesion function, cohesins are essential for completion of recombination, pairing, meioti...
