title: Meiosis: polo, FEAR and the art of dividing reductionally.
abstract: Recent studies on the regulation of meiosis have uncovered new roles for old acquaintances: the polo-like kinase Cdc5 has been found to dictate proper kinetochore orientation during meiosis I, while the FEAR pathway is essential for some, but not all, aspects of meiosis I exit.
