Wanxi white goose is an important male parent in crossbreeding of Chinese geese, but its short reproductive cycle restricts its application in Northeast China. Therefore, understanding the potential mechanism of breeding period regulation in Wanxi white goose will help to provide more options for crossbreeding. In this study, the reproductive period was divided into prophase (T1), metaphase (T2) and anaphase (T3) according to the laying rhythm of geese.

To ensure the correct euploid state of embryos, it is essential that vertebrate oocytes await fertilization arrested at metaphase of meiosis II. This MII arrest is mediated by XErp1/Emi2, which inhibits the ubiquitin ligase APC/C (anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome). Cyclin B3 in complex with Cdk1 (cyclin-dependent kinase 1) is essential to prevent an untimely arrest of vertebrate oocytes in meiosis I by targeting XErp1/Emi2 for degradation.

Background: Chromosome 3q29 duplication syndrome is a rare chromosomal disorder with a frequency of 1:5000 in patients with a neurodevelopmental phenotype. The syndrome is characterized by phenotypic polymorphism and reduced penetrance.
Methods: Patients were investigated by performing a cytogenetic analysis of GTG-banded metaphases, aCGH with the SurePrint G3 Human CGH Microarray 8×60K, qPCR, FISH, and WES.

Background: The establishment of kinetochore-microtubule attachment is essential for error-free chromosome alignment and segregation during cell division. Defects in chromosome alignment result in chromosome instability, birth defects, and infertility. Kinesin-7 CENP-E mediates kinetochore-microtubule capture, chromosome alignment, and spindle assembly checkpoint in somatic cells, however, mechanisms of CENP-E in germ cells remain poorly understood.

The cell nuclei of Ophisthokonts, the eukaryotic supergroup defined by fungi and metazoans, is remarkable in the constancy of their double-membraned structure in both somatic and germ cells. Such remarkable structural conservation underscores common and ancient evolutionary origins. Yet, the dynamics of disassembly and reassembly displayed by Ophisthokont nuclei vary extensively.
