Control of chromosome segregation in meiosis

Saturday 29 August from 15:30 to 17:30

Work on meiosis has dramatically increased in recent years in part due to the introduction of new technologies such as live-cell imaging and mass spectrometry-based protein identification.

Nevertheless, many of the key processes of meiotic chromosome segregation remain poorly understood.

This sub-group meeting will bring together scientists using different approaches and model organisms to unravel the process that forms the basis for eukaryotic genetics.

Speakers:

Mary Herbert (Newcastle Fertility Centre, UK): Cohesin deficiency underlies maternal age-related meiotic defects
Katja Wassmann (University of Paris 6, FR): Meiosis I is severely perturbed in mouse oocytes without functional Mps1
Olaf Stemmann (University of Bayreuth, DE): Shugoshin is a Mad1/Cdc20-like interactor of Mad2
Wolfgang Zachariae (Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics, DE): Control of chromosome segregation in meiosis
Kim Nasmyth (University of Oxford, UK): Title to be determined
