How do species remain distinct? Our recent collaboration with the Rifkin Lab discovered a new hybrid incompatibility between Caenorhabditis species that results in defects in the first cell division, like irregular spindles! We show how subtle changes in cell biology can reinforce species barriers.

The Oegema/Desai Labs are excited to join this community and share our research! In the meantime, check out our most recent papers:
