Stacey Hanlon, Assistant Professor, Ph.D. How does the cell ensure that meiosis is fair? The Hanlon Lab studies genetic renegades and the mechanisms in place to keep selfish genetic elements from gaming the system. We use classical genetic and modern cell biology techniques to examine the dynamics of selfish B chromosomes during female meiosis in the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster. Hanlon Lab |
