Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Danny Liang-Yee Ooi"
- Danny Liang-Yee Ooi's research primarily focuses on understanding the mechanisms of genomic stability and chromosome segregation during cell division, particularly using Drosophila as a model organism.
- Ooi's 2007 study identified the Drosophila homolog of the human microcephaly gene MCPH1, revealing its crucial role in mitotic processes and genomic stability in early embryos, specifically highlighting the consequences of its mutation.
- Another key finding from Ooi's earlier work (2005) demonstrates how POLO kinase regulates the centromere cohesion protein MEI-S332 in Drosophila, emphasizing the importance of protein interactions in ensuring proper chromosome segregation during both mitosis and meiosis.
