title: Analyzing mammalian female meiosis.
abstract: The goal of this chapter is twofold: First, to acquaint the reader with the problems inherent in analyzing mammalian female meiosis and, second, to provide a step-by-step approach to mastering the necessary techniques. Although the methods presented are for use in the human and mouse, with subtle alterations the same techniques should be applicable to most mammalian species.
