Abstract

The eukaryotic cell cycle has emerged as an exciting field of study over the last few years due to the discovery that the mechanisms regulating it have been highly conserved throughout evolution. General principles and themes have emerged from several seemingly disparate disciplines using a variety of model systems (frogs, marine invertebrates, yeast, and mammalian tissue culture cells) and approaches (genetic, biochemical, cell biological, and physiological).
