I present a basic introduction to the leptogenesis mechanism to generate the baryon asymmetry of the universe. This mechanism has an obvious relation with neutrino mass models and the seesaw mechanism. I discuss the leptogenesis mechanism in realistic models of neutrino masses, and in particular those with some kind of quark-lepton yukawa unification.
