Welcome to the MacNeill lab website !
Research in the lab is focused on dissecting the molecular biology of eukaryotic chromosomal DNA replication and genome stability using two contrasting genetically-tractable model systems, the eukaryotic fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe and the halophilic euryarchaeon Haloferax volcanii. In addition to this, we also study the replication machinery of the giant viruses. We use a variety of methods to address questions of protein structure and function within the chromosome replication apparatus, including genetics and molecular biology, biochemistry and bioinformatics.
