Gametes are produced through meiotic division; a tightly regulated process in which the amount of DNA is halved. Gametes are naturally subjected to exogenous agents that induce DNA damage (e.g. UV irradiation). Improper repair of DNA damage can lead to mutations or other chromosomal abnormalities that can be passed to the next generation. My research aims to study the regulation of DSB repair processes occurring at sites of DNA damage induced in a meiotic context.
