Pan B, Bruno M, Macfarlan T, Akera T
Nat Commun
. 2025 Mar;
16(1):2116.
PMID: 40032846
Primary constriction of the M-phase chromosome serves as a marker for the kinetochore position. Underlying this observation is the concept that the kinetochore is spatially linked with the pericentromere where...

bioRxiv
. 2025 Mar;
PMID: 40027736
Hybrid incompatibility can lead to lethality and sterility of F1 hybrids, contributing to speciation. Here we found that female hybrids between and mice are sterile due to the failure of...

Dudka D, Dawicki-McKenna J, Sun X, Beeravolu K, Akera T, Lampson M, et al.
Nature
. 2025 Jan;
638(8051):814-822.
PMID: 39779853
The abundance and sequence of satellite DNA at and around centromeres is evolving rapidly despite the highly conserved and essential process through which the centromere directs chromosome inheritance. The impact...

Pan B, Bruno M, Macfarlan T, Akera T
bioRxiv
. 2024 Aug;
PMID: 39091844
The primary constriction site of the M-phase chromosome is an established marker for the kinetochore position, often used to determine the karyotype of each species. Underlying this observation is the...

Clark F, Greenberg N, Silva D, Trimm E, Skinner M, Walton R, et al.
Curr Biol
. 2024 Jul;
34(17):3845-3854.e4.
PMID: 39067449
Selfish genetic elements drive in meiosis to distort their transmission ratio and increase their representation in gametes, violating Mendel's law of segregation. The two established paradigms for meiotic drive, gamete...

Clark F, Greenberg N, Silva D, Trimm E, Skinner M, Walton R, et al.
bioRxiv
. 2024 Jun;
PMID: 38903120
During meiosis, homologous chromosomes segregate so that alleles are transmitted equally to haploid gametes, following Mendel's Law of Segregation. However, some selfish genetic elements drive in meiosis to distort the...

El Yakoubi W, Akera T
Nature
. 2023 Nov;
623(7986):347-355.
PMID: 37914934
Reproductive isolation occurs when the genomes of two populations accumulate genetic incompatibilities that prevent interbreeding. Understanding of hybrid incompatibility at the cell biology level is limited, particularly in the case...

Totsuka T, Akera T, Olson M
J Cell Biol
. 2023 Oct;
222(11).
PMID: 37843812
During the second meiotic cell division, egg cells discard one set of chromatids to the polar body to produce a large haploid gamete. Meiotic spindle rotation is a critical step...

Silva D, Akera T
Curr Opin Genet Dev
. 2023 Jul;
81:102082.
PMID: 37406428
The germline produces haploid gametes through a specialized cell division called meiosis. In general, homologous chromosomes from each parent segregate randomly to the daughter cells during meiosis, providing parental alleles...

Sci Adv
. 2023 Feb;
9(7):eadd7397.
PMID: 36800430
Spindle positioning within the oocyte must be tightly regulated. In mice, the spindle is predominantly assembled at the oocyte center before its migration toward the cortex to achieve the highly...
