About
The cell cycle is an ordered set of processes by which one cell divides into two identical daughter cells. Cell cycle progression is driven by Cyclin/CDK complexes. Ikui's research studies how cells coordinate cell cycle progression to maintain genome integrity in S. cerevisiae and Chlamydomonas.
