Welcome to the Engebrecht Lab Web Site
| Gametogenesis is essential for the propagation of all sexually reproducing organisms and consists of halving the chromosome number through meiosis, and the subsequent packaging of the haploid products into gametes. Research in our lab is focused on understanding how meiosis and gamete formation are controlled to ensure the production of viable progeny. To address these questions we use the yeast S. cerevisiae and the worm C. elegans because of the powerful genetic, genomic, cytological and biochemical tools available. |  |
