Protocol to measure cleavage efficiency of the meiotic cohesin subunit Rec8 by separase in mouse oocytes using a biosensor

Summary: Here, we describe a biosensor to assess meiotic cohesin subunit Rec8 cleavage in mouse oocytes. We detail oocyte collection and microinjection of the mRNA expressing the biosensor. The biosensor is targeted to chromosomes and consists of two fluorophores flanking a Rec8 fragment containing...
