Research Abstract

We are trying to understand molecular mechanisms for reorganization of chromosomes during the transition from mitosis to meiosis using fission yeast. Toward this end, we searched for meiosis-specific protein complexes within the nucleus by fluorescence microscopy in conjunction with molecular genetic analysis. We identified protein complexes that mediate chromosome reorganization and that mediate homologous chromosome pairing.
