Abstract:
Meiosis can be viewed both as a process of cell differentiation and as a modification of the mitotic cell cycle. Here we describe recent progress in defining a variety of regulatory mechanisms that govern the meiotic divisions. Studies in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and in higher organisms have led to complementary insights into these controls.
