Abstract:
... Newly formed polyploids often show extensive meiotic defects, resulting in aneuploid gametes, and thus reduced fertility. However, while many neopolyploids are meiotically unstable, polyploid lineages that survive in nature are generally stable and fertile; thus, those lineages that survive are those that are able to overcome these challenges. Several genes that promote polyploid stabilization are ...

Abstract:
... The efficiency of PGT-A have been studied in patients with previous IVF failure, recurrent pregnancy loss, idiopathic infertility and infertility due to other causes. More than 50% of all embryos produced in four experimental and one control groups were found to be aneuploid. Aneuploidies of autosomes 15 and 18 and of both sex chromosomes were the ones most frequently observed. Most aneuploidies w ...

Abstract:
... Although chromosomal mosaic embryos detected by trophectoderm (TE) biopsy offer healthy embryos available for transfer, high-resolution postnatal karyotyping and chromosome testing of the transferred embryos are insufficient. Here, we applied single-cell multi-omics sequencing for seven infants with blastula chromosomal mosaicism detected by TE biopsy. The chromosome ploidy was examined by single- ...

Abstract:
... WDR62 (WD40-repeat protein 62) participates in diverse biological process, especially mitotic spindle organization via regulating centriole biogenesis and the function of centriole-associated protein. However, the role of WDR62 exerts in spindle assembly and meiotic progression control in oocytes lacking typical centrosomes remains obscure. In a previous study, we reported that WDR62 is involved i ...

Abstract:
... MicroRNAs (miRNAs) derived from the pre-implantation blastocoel fluid (BF) have attracted interest as accessible biomarkers indicative of embryonic health in ongoing IVF cycles. Therefore, we investigated expression levels of some aneuploidy-associated miRNAs and implantation-related mRNAs as predictive markers for embryo chromosomal normality. In this study, the BF of 25 blastocysts that had been ...

Abstract:
... Congenital malformations diagnosed by ultrasound screening complicate 3–5% of pregnancies and many of these have an underlying genetic cause. Approximately 40% of prenatally diagnosed fetal malformations are associated with aneuploidy or copy number variants, detected by conventional karyotyping, QF-PCR and microarray techniques, however monogenic disorders are not diagnosed by these tests. Next g ...

Abstract:
... Odd-allotetraploid lilies, like LAAA, have abnormal meiosis, but there are few reports on the characteristics of their chromosomal behavior and functional pollen. This study analyzed an odd-allotetraploid lily, ‘Honesty’ (LAAA), for its microsporogenesis and functional aneuploid pollen grains using cytogenetic methods together with hybridization. Its microsporogenesis showed that, (1) the homo(eo) ...

Abstract:
... Cell-cycle analysis has shown the presence of aneuploidy to be associated with poor prognosis. We developed an innovative rapid cell-cycle analysis protocol (the Ioannina protocol) that permitted the intraoperative identification of neoplastic cells in a plethora of malignancies. Herein, we aimed to investigate the potential role of cell-cycle analysis in the intraoperative characterization of gyn ...

Abstract:
... Within most tumour types, cancerous cells exist in a state of aneuploidy, an incorrect chromosome number or structure. Additionally, tumour cells frequently exhibit chromosomal instability; the ongoing loss or gain of whole or parts of chromosomes during cell division. Chromosomal instability results in a high rate of chromosome segregation defects, and a constantly changing genomic landscape. A s ...

Abstract:
... KEY MESSAGE: Different digenomic Brassica autoallohexaploids were produced from the crosses of three allotetraploids and ancestral diploids and characterized for the cytological behavior of two subgenomes with two and four copies. Interspecific hybridization and allopolyploidization present an important pathway for plant evolution and breeding. In this study, different types of digenomic autoalloh ...

Abstract:
... Microtubule dynamics ensure multiple cellular events during oocyte meiosis, which is critical for the fertilization and early embryo development. KIF15 (also termed Hklp2) is a member of kinesin-12 family motor proteins, which participates in Eg5-related bipolar spindle formation in mitosis. In present study, we explored the roles of KIF15 in mouse oocyte meiosis. KIF15 expressed during oocyte mat ...
... Polyploidy is a major force shaping eukaryote evolution but poses challenges for meiotic chromosome segregation. As a result, first‐generation polyploids often suffer from more meiotic errors and lower fertility than established wild polyploid populations. How established polyploids adapt their meiotic behaviour to ensure genome stability and accurate chromosome segregation remains an active resea ...
... In assisted reproductive technology (ART)-derived embryos of non-rodent mammals, including humans and cattle, chromosome segregation errors are highly likely to occur during early cleavage division, resulting in aneuploidy, including mosaicism. However, the relationship between chromosomal segregation errors during early cleavage and subsequent embryonic development has not been detailed in these ...
... The non‐essential supernumerary maize (Zea mays) B chromosome (B) has recently been shown to contain active genes and to be capable of impacting gene expression of the A chromosomes. However, the effect of the B chromosome on gene expression is still unclear. In addition, it is unknown whether the accumulation of the B chromosome has a cumulative effect on gene expression. To examine these questio ...
... One of organic ultraviolet (UV) filters, Octocrylene (OCL), is mainly used in various cosmetic products, which is being frequently detected in soil, sediment, aquatic systems and food chain. There is evidence confirmed the reproductive toxicity of OCL in Japanese medaka. However, less was known about the effects of OCL exposure on oocyte quality. Here, we investigated the impacts of OCL on mouse o ...

Abstract:
... Human cleavage-stage embryos frequently acquire chromosomal aneuploidies during mitosis due to unknown mechanisms. Here, we show that S phase at the 1-cell stage shows replication fork stalling, low fork speed, and DNA synthesis extending into G2 phase. DNA damage foci consistent with collapsed replication forks, DSBs, and incomplete replication form in G2 in an ATR- and MRE11-dependent manner, fo ...

Abstract:
... Individuals of all ages, including children and teenagers, consume 4-methylimidazole (4-MI) in their food. 4-MI is a caramel-colored waste product that has previously been linked to human carcinogenesis and has shown possible signs of reproductive toxicity. This study aimed to determine whether 4-MI is harmful to oocytes during meiosis and fertilization. Female mice were intragastrically administe ...

... A central goal of genetics is to define the relationships between genotypes and phenotypes. High-content phenotypic screens such as Perturb-seq (CRISPR-based screens with single-cell RNA-sequencing readouts) enable massively parallel functional genomic mapping but, to date, have been used at limited scales. Here, we perform genome-scale Perturb-seq targeting all expressed genes with CRISPR interfe ...

Abstract:
... The highly invasive Campuloclinium macrocephalum (Asteraceae; ‘pompom weed’), native to South America, was introduced to South Africa where it has flourished and now threatens the native diversity of the grasslands it has invaded. The Argentine C. macrocephalum population is known to comprise at least three ploidy levels, and exhibit aneuploidy. Ploidy levels had not yet been assessed across South ...
... The genus Medicago (Leguminosae, Papilionoideae) contains about 90 species including the important forage crop alfalfa Medicago sativa and the genomic model Medicago truncatula. Despite intensive research on the genus because of its agricultural importance, there is a relative lack of information about chromosome number and genome size in some Medicago species, especially those from Medicago secti ...
