Shaping meiotic prophase chromosomes: cohesins and synaptonemal complex proteins.

abstract：:We describe a novel rearranged human Y chromosome consisting of an inverted duplication of the long arm heterochromatin and a small amount of euchromatin: rea(Y)(qter-q11.2::q11.2-qter). The normal centromere has been deleted and a neocentromere containing CENP-A, -C, -E and Mad2 but not CENP-B has formed close to the...
