Sequential production of gametes during meiosis in trypanosomes

Lori Peacock et al. report the sequence of meiosis in Trypanosoma brucei cells from the salivary glands of tsetse flies using image analyses and expression of the cell fusion protein HAP2. From the recovered cell types and expression of HAP2 in meiotic intermediates, these results indicate that hapl...

Description
Summary:Lori Peacock et al. report the sequence of meiosis in Trypanosoma brucei cells from the salivary glands of tsetse flies using image analyses and expression of the cell fusion protein HAP2. From the recovered cell types and expression of HAP2 in meiotic intermediates, these results indicate that haploid gametes are produced sequentially.
