About this book

The unique chromosome dynamics of meiosis have fascinated scientists for well over a century, but in recent years there has been a proliferation of new data concerning the pairing, recombination, and segregation of chromosomes.

In "Meiosis", expert researchers explore recent advances in three main areas, including: quantitative genetic methods for analysis of homologous recombination and chromosome pairing, development of direct physical assays for DNA intermediates and products of recombination, and cytological methods for characterizing chromosome behaviors and the patterns by which specific proteins associate with meiotic chromosomes. "Meiosis: Volume 2, Cytological Methods", details methods for preparing and examining meiotic tissues, cells, and chromosomes by electron microscopy, indirect immunofluorescence, fluorescent in situ hybridization, and live-cell imaging. The methods in this volume are grouped for convenience by general types of organisms: fungi, plants and small animals (mostly invertebrates), and mammals.

Composed in the highly successful Methods in "Molecular Biology" series format, each chapter contains a brief introduction, step-by-step methods, a list of necessary materials, and a notes section which shares tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Comprehensive and cutting edge, "Meiosis: Volume 2, Cytological Methods" is an essential guidebook, providing up-to-date and critical new protocols for the study of meiotic chromosome dynamics.
