This issue explores the eukaryotic cell cycle, covering chromosome replication, spindle assembly, and cytokinesis. It highlights conserved and divergent mechanisms across model organisms and discusses cell-cycle evolution.

Area of Science:

  • Cell Biology
  • Molecular Biology
  • Genetics

Background:

  • The eukaryotic cell cycle is a fundamental process governing cell growth and division.
  • Understanding cell cycle regulation is crucial for comprehending development and disease.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of key eukaryotic cell cycle processes.
  • To compare and contrast cell cycle mechanisms across different model organisms.
  • To explore the evolutionary origins of cell cycle control.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on chromosome replication, mitotic spindle assembly, cytokinesis, cell cycle regulation, and modeling.
  • Comparative analysis of budding yeast, fission yeast, and animal cell systems.
  • Discussion of evolutionary perspectives on cell cycle mechanisms.
