Example sentences for: synapsis

How can you use “synapsis” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

It is dispensable for chromosome pairing and synapsis in some organisms, but is required in others [ 22 24 25 26 27 28 ] . Budding yeast spo11Δ (null) mutants lack chromosome pairing, but catalytic site tyrosine mutants ( spo11-Y135F ) support significant levels of DSB-independent pairing [ 29 ] , so the function of Spo11 proteins in pairing may be separable from its function in catalyzing recombination.
The presence of a divergent SWIRM domain, linked to a HORMA domain, in Asy1, the plant ortholog of the yeast Hop1p [ 36], is consistent with the role of these proteins in mediating protein-protein interactions in the process of chromosome synapsis [ 42].
