abstract：:Cohesin cofactors regulate the loading, maintenance, and release of cohesin complexes from chromosomes during mitosis but little is known on their role during vertebrate meiosis. One such cofactor is PDS5, which exists as two paralogs in somatic and germline cells, PDS5A and PDS5B, with unclear functions. Here, we hav...
