We study the regulation of cell division, focusing on centrioles, centrosomes and MTOCs. Lab news from @Caltech

This predicts that the counterpart protein functions the same way in human cells and may have relevance to human cancer, where centriole duplication goes out of control. [3/3].

Our research in the fly, suggests that the Ana1 adopts different structures for each of these processes. We show this by generating different variant proteins that could restore centriole duplication to ana1 mutants, but not centriole elongation required to make flagellae. [2/3].

Centrioles are tiny cellular structures that have dual lives, they form the core of the two bodies that enable chromosomes to be shared between dividing cells or they move to the cell surface to template formation of cilia or flagella. [1/3].

Adelaide was a world expert in Drosophila meiosis and the best fly geneticist in the Department. She left a technicianās position in the Ashburner lab to join us as research associate and made pioneering contributions to our genetic studies of Greatwall kinase and its substrates.

We are very sad to hear of the passing of Adelaide Carpenter, who had been in Genetics at Cambridge for over 30 years working mainly in our lab. A former full professor at UCSD, Adelaide came to Cambridge on sabbatical and never returned. Continued below.

š¢ ** New Paper Alert**. We show that centriole 9-fold microtubule symmetry is not essential for centriole elongation, correct distribution of the centrioleās components along its length, and in initiating aspects of centriole duplication. @NatureComms.

**New Paper**.
I am excited to share the final version of our work on the genetic basis of virgin birth (parthenogenesis) in fruit flies! It was a joy working with @DK_Fabian @erikgarrison @LabGlover on this understudied phenomenon.

Farewell to our fabulous summer students, Hanna & Buraq! Happy that they had an enriching Summer in the lab exploring centrosomes/cilia, as much as we enjoyed their curious, youthful spirit!
