Abstract

Maintaining cohesion between sister chromatids during the first meioticcell division is crucial for preventing oocyte aneuploidy. In a new paper in Current Biology, Yi and colleagues present evidence that the Small Ubiquitin-related Modifier (SUMO) pathway protects centromeric sister cohesion during the meiosis I-II transition in mouse oocytes.
