Homologue pairing mediates both recombination and segregation of chromosomes at meiosis I. The recognition of nucleic-acid-sequence homology within the somatic nucleus has an impact on DNA repair and epigenetic control of gene expression. Here we investigate interchromosomal interactions using a non-invasive technique that allows tagging and visualization of DNA sequences in vegetative and meiotic live yeast cells. In non-meiotic cells, chromosomes are ordered in the nucleus, but preferential pa ...[more]
