▪ Abstract Meiotic chromosomes have been studied for many years, in part because of the
fundamental life processes they represent, but also because meiosis involves the formation …

▪ Abstract The separation of sister chromatids at the metaphase to anaphase transition is
one of the most dramatic of all cellular events and is a crucial aspect of all sexual and …

Cohesion between sister chromatids depends on a multisubunit cohesin complex that binds
to chromosomes around DNA replication and dissociates from them at the onset of …

Abstract Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS) is a multiple malformation disorder
characterized by dysmorphic facial features, mental retardation, growth delay and limb …

Coprinus cinereus has two main types of mycelia, the asexual monokaryon and the sexual
dikaryon, formed by fusion of compatible monokaryons. Syngamy (plasmogamy) and …

The repair of DNA double-strand breaks by recombination requires the presence of an
undamaged copy that is used as a template during the repair process. Because cells …

Eukaryotic chromosomes reach their stable rod-shaped appearance in mitosis in a reaction
dependent on the evolutionarily conserved condensin complex. Little is known about how …

HEAT repeats correspond to tandemly arranged curlicue-like structures that appear to serve
as flexible scaffolding on which other components can assemble. Using sensitive sequence …

How enhancers are able to activate promoters located several kilobases away is unknown.
Activation by the wing margin enhancer in the cut gene, located 85 kb from the promoter …

CTF4 and CTF18 are required for high-fidelity chromosome segregation. Both exhibit
genetic and physical ties to replication fork constituents. We find that absence of eitherCTF4 …
