Evolution and diversity of mitosis

If you have a question about this talk, please contact Daisy Saward .

Despite the fundamental role of cell division in the propagation of cellular life, eukaryotes have evolved a diverse range of strategies to remodel and partition organelles and cellular contents in mitosis. What drives the evolution of mitotic mechanisms? Bridging lab and field expeditions, we use a range of microbial model systems, comparative genomics, imaging and experimental evolution to probe mitotic diversity on short and long evolutionary timescales. I will present our recent work on the rewiring of mitotic mechanisms in deep-branching holozoans, green algae, and slime moulds, and finally our initial efforts to generate a eukaryotic mitotic atlas using expansion microscopy.
