Topoisomerase II is required for the proper separation of heterochromatic regions during Drosophila melanogaster female meiosis.

Heterochromatic homology ensures the segregation of achiasmate chromosomes during meiosis I in Drosophila melanogaster females, perhaps as a consequence of the heterochromatic threads that connect achiasmate homologs during prometaphase I. Here, we ask how these threads, and other possible heterochr...
