Homology pairing is crucial to the formation of normal gametes, the maintenance of genomic integrity, and avoidance of aneuploidy. However, chromosomes are not completely homologous. Here we discuss two notable exceptions to homology: the mammalian sex chromosomes and centromeres. In themselves, these exceptions illustrate meiotic adaptations that both ensure correct chromosome segregation and present evolutionary opportunities. More broadly, such examples of non-homology provide a window for viewing normal mechanisms of meiotic pairing and chromosome modifications. Current analyses of mammalian meiotic chromosome dynamics suggest that the basis for the initial recognition of homology early in meiosis may be based in epigenetic chromatin modifications. Chromatin units may both form pairing sites and provide the modifications that allow non-homologous sequences to be tolerated. Despite recent research progress, we have yet to understand why some non-homologies are tolerated, while others lead to aneuploidy. Understanding how genomes evolve strategies to subvert the usual rules of meiosis will benefit from studies focused on the identification and characterization of meiosis in species with recently acquired non-homology. Looking forward, we are now armed with technologies and tools suited to precisely measure the extent of nonhomology across mammalian chromosomes and to probe the molecular and biophysical steps required for the initiation of homologous chromosome recognition and pairing. These goals are important for elucidating an essential mechanism of meiosis and ultimately for advancing the clinical diagnosis of gametic and embryo aneuploidy.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50606,"journal":{"name":"Current Opinion in Genetics & Development","volume":"93 ","pages":"Article 102365"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144116256","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this review, we lay out the support for this hypothesis, with a focus on NMD’s roles in the nervous system. Studies have demonstrated roles for NMD in several aspects of nervous system development, including neural cell generation and differentiation. Studies in mice have provided evidence that NMD inhibits neural inflammation and promotes mature neuron functions, including dendritic spine maturation and synaptic plasticity, providing a potential explanation for why NMD deficiency leads to cognitive and behavioral dysfunction in mice and humans.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50606,"journal":{"name":"Current Opinion in Genetics & Development","volume":"93 ","pages":"Article 102356"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144107718","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we review the known proteins that are required for sperm–egg interaction in mammals and fish from a phylogenetic perspective. While some sperm factors are only conserved in vertebrates and share phylogenetic and structural features, others have a longer evolutionary history.

The hope for ultimate regeneration was made even more tangible by the observations that partial reprogramming by the Yamanaka factors reverses many hallmarks of aging [76], even though the underlying mechanism remains unclear. We intend to revisit the milestones in the evolving understanding of cell fate plasticity and glean molecular insights from an unusual somatic cell state, the privileged cell state that reprograms in a manner defying the stochastic model.
