Lab 1 Assessment - Researching a Topic | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
In the lab I showed you how to find the PubMed reference database and search it using a topic word. Lab 1 assessment will be for you to use this to find a research reference on "fertilization" and write a brief summary of the main finding of the paper.

Belbin Team Roles
If I’m completely honest, I think my role in group work is generally the “Co-ordinator”. I’m not too sure about my ability to step back from the ‘nitty gritty’ details and see the bigger picture. But rather I generally like to take on leadership roles and assign people tasks. That way I can do things how I like to and place people in roles that I think they would be suited to. But not only that I think to be a good leader you have to be a good worker. So I try to lead by example and not really depend on others too much so that if something has messed up, I have no one to blame but myself. This part about Co-ordinators made me chuckle. “Sometimes perceived to be manipulative and will tend to delegate all work” which is unfortunately a little true. But at the same time I’ve been open to working an equal amount as others previously as well.
Lecture 1: Fertilisation
In my previous years in attending university I’ve completed many courses which have gone through the fertilization process such as: Evolutionary Biological Sciences, Physiology, Histology and Pathology. From having done these courses already, there were parts which were familiar to me and that I have understood before in the past. However, I still was amazed by the new refreshing things I have not yet encounter which I did during this lecture. Such as polar bodies and their role in fertilization in disposing of extra DNA. It also clarified a point which I was previously confused about on whether or not polar bodies were gametes or not. Cementing all this information and weaving it in with new learnt information has really been a beneficial experience for me, in that I’m building up on topics I thoroughly enjoy.

The research article called " Tet1 controls meiosis by regulating meiotic gene expression" by Yamaguchi et al. (2012) aims to determine the role of ten-eleven translocation methylcytosine dioxygenase 1 (TET1) which is a member of the TET family of enzymes, in regulating meiotic gene expression and thus meiosis in mice. This study was highly useful since little is known about how the expression of meiotic genes is regulated and how their expression contributes to normal meiosis. In the study they performed a whole-genome bisulphite sequencing (WGBS) analysis using an ultra-low input so that they would be able to see how Tet1 is used in the activation of meiotic genes.
Results showed that a decreased functioning of Tet1 caused an increase in the unpaired synaptonemal complex at zygotene-stage oocyte, suggesting a synapsis-formation defect. The meiotic defects seen from Tet1 loss of function included: formation of univalent chromosome, but also homologous recombination and DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) repair defects. These in turn caused defective meiotic prophase which caused decreased amount of oocytes and in turn reduced litter size and lowering in fertility. The study done was pivotal as it built upon past studies which have already established that DNA methylation levels of certain meiotic genes are lowered with genomic reprogramming.
Mark Hill 18 August 2016 - You have added the citation correctly and written a good brief summary of the article findings.
TET1 is part of the family of methylcytosine dioxygenases that involved in cytosine demethylation and gene activation, interesting that it has a meiotic-specific role. |
