MODELING MEIOTIC CHROMOSOMES INDICATES A SIZE DEPENDENT CONTRIBUTION OF TELOMERE CLUSTERING AND CHROMOSOME RIGIDITY TO HOMOLOGUE JUXTAPOSITION.

Modeling meiotic chromosomes indicates a size dependent contribution of telomere clustering and chromosome rigidity to homologue juxtaposition.

Meiosis is the cell division that halves the genetic component of diploid cells to form gametes or spores.To achieve this, meiotic cells undergo a radical spatial reorganisation of chromosomes.This reorganisation is a prerequisite for the pairing of parental homologous chromosomes and the reductional division, which halves the number of chromosomes
