To understand mechanistic details, we employ a wide range of techniques including in vitro reconstitution of protein complexes, classical biochemistry and single molecule assays. In collaboration with the excellent on-site facilities and colleagues we perform next generation sequencing, mass spectrometry and structural analyses.
Meiosis is a specialised cell division prior to the formation of generative cells, creating new allelic combinations of maternal and paternal genetic material. Genetic recombination depends on the introduction of meiotic DSBs but their regulation during meiotic progression is not fully understood. We are interested how meiosis specific chromatin factors affect DSB formation in plants.
Successful candidates should
hold a BSc degree in Molecular Biology or a related field
be highly motivated
be interested in plant biology, meiosis and basic mechanistic questions.
