Pairing of homologous chromosomes in <i>C. elegans</i> meiosis requires DEB-1 - an orthologue of mammalian vinculin
Bibliographic record
Abstract
During meiosis, homologous chromosomes undergo a dramatic movement in order to correctly align. This is a critical meiotic event but the molecular properties of this 'chromosomal dance' still remainunclear. We identified DEB-1 - an orthologue of mammalian vinculin - as a new component of the mechanistic modules responsible for attaching the chromosomes to the nuclear envelope as apart of the LINC complex. In early meiotic nuclei of C. elegans, DEB-1 is localized to the nuclear periphery and alongside the synaptonemal complex of paired homologues. Upon DEB-1 depletion, chromosomes attached to SUN-1 foci remain highly motile until late pachytene. Although the initiation of homologue pairing started normally, irregularities in the formation of the synaptonemal complex occur, and these results in meiotic defects such as increased number of univalents at diakinesis and high embryonic lethality. Our data identify DEB-1 as a new player regulating chromosome dynamics and pairing during meiotic prophase I.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
