Vincenzo Costanzo talks about vertebrate genome stability, focusing on the DNA replication and repair in vertebrate cells.

Additionally he discusses his research using extracts derived from Xenopus laevis eggs, which allow extensive biochemical analysis which can be reproduced in vitro complex cell cycle events such as chromatin formation, nuclear assembly, semi-conservative DNA replication, chromosome assembly and mitotic spindle formation.

Recorded during the 1st Symposium IFOM-EMBL Monterotondo, June 2015
