A new paper, published in PNAS, from the Hawley Lab characterizes a protein that appears to prolong the persistence of the synaptonemal complex, a key player in reproductive cell division, in female fruit flies. This study creates a new tool to study the gene USP7 which functions to prevent certain kinds of cancer in humans. https://lnkd.in/ge-gtDtY
