Sea anemone emerges as new model for meiosis research

Original: From sea anemone to human fertility: A new research organism for understanding meiosis

Researchers have proposed the sea anemone as a new model organism for studying meiosis, the cell division process that produces eggs and sperm. Because sea anemones are evolutionarily ancient and reproduce readily in the lab, scientists say the animal could shed light on the basic mechanisms of meiosis and, by extension, on human fertility problems. The work is being reported by science news services.

Why now: A newly proposed model organism could advance understanding of reproductive biology and fertility research.
