Henderson K, Kee K, Maleki S, Santini PA, and Keeney S (2006) Cyclin-dependent kinase directly regulates initiation of meiotic recombination. Cell 125, 1321-1332. Martini E, Diaz RL, Hunter N, and ...

However, in budding yeast, spores are produced within diploid cells. During this process, de novo membrane structures form within the cytosol, encapsulating the meiotic haploid nuclei to produce ...

We also study how DSBs are processed and repaired and we are seeking to expand knowledge of meiotic processes more generally through discovery of new genes important for germ cell function. Most of ...

In yeast, however, binding of Rad51 to ssDNA is enhanced by the proteins Rad52 and the complex Rad55-Rad57. Once access has been gained, Rad51 polymerizes on the DNA strand to form what is called ...
