In very early-stage mammalian embryos, the cell cycle is controlled by maternal factors and mitotic process is regulated in a specialized manner.

In this project, I address the questions: “What are the characteristic features of maternally controlled cell divisions?” and “What are the fundamental mechanisms for chromosome segregation that meiotic-, mitotic-, and maternal-divisions all shared in common?”

The importance of maternally controlled cell divisions in mammalian development will also be addressed.
