Condensins I and II are essential for construction of bivalent chromosomes in mouse oocytes

In mouse oocytes, condensin I localizes around centromeric regions, whereas condensin II is concentrated onto chromatid axes of Meta-I bivalent chromosomes. Both condensins are required for many aspects of meiotic chromosome dynamics, including individualization, resolution, and segregation, as well as monopolar attachment of sister kinetochores.
