The Aurora Kinases (AURKs) are a family of serine-threonine protein kinases critical for cell division. Somatic cells express only AURKA and AURKB. However, mammalian germ cells and some cancer cells express all three isoforms. A major question in the field has been determining the molecular and cellular changes when cells express three instead of two aurora kinases. Using a systematic genetic approach involving different Aurora kinase oocyte-specific knockout combinations, we completed an oocyte-AURK genetic interaction map and show that one genomic copy of
