We're back after the Easter Break with an extremely interesting episode with Dr Peter Ellis from the School of Biosciences at the University of Kent! Dr.Ellis is a Lecturer in Molecular Genetics and Reproduction at the University of Kent. His research thus far has involved the identification of novel genes on the mouse Y chromosome that affect sperm head shape and fertility; the discovery of a genomic conflict between the mice sex chromosomes as they compete to influence offspring sex ratio. Also the identification of mechanisms regulating meiotic and post-meiotic transcriptional silencing of the sex chromosomes. His lab investigates the molecular biology of reproduction, the conflicting roles played by sex-linked genes in regulating this process, and the relationship between DNA damage repair mechanisms and the checkpoints governing meiotic progression.
