Chromosome Segregation: Learning to Let Go
نویسنده
چکیده
To ensure accurate chromosome segregation, cohesion between sister chromatids must be released in a controlled manner during mitosis. A new study reveals how distinct centromere populations of the cohesin protector Sgo1 are regulated by microtubule attachments, cyclin-dependent kinases, and the kinetochore kinase Bub1.

I-35: Polar Body Analysis by Array CGH Identifies Women with Varying Susceptibility to Aneuploidy and Suggests that Non-disjunction Is Not The Predominant Mechanism Leading to Aneuploidy in Humans
Background: The maternal age effect for trisomy is well known. However what is less established is whether certain women are more (or less) prone to segregation errors, independent of age. Trisomy arises primarily through maternal meiosis I chromosome segregation errors however the precise mechanism by which these errors occur is unclear. Current dogma attributes the origin of trisomy to malseg...
متن کاملBacterial cytokinesis: Let the light shine in
Recent application of fluorescence microscopy to the study of the bacterial cell cycle has revealed the existence of a cytoskeletal element - once thought to occur only in eukaryotic cells - that mediates cytokinesis, and possibly another involved in chromosome segregation.
متن کاملDiversity of chromosome numbers and meiotic studies in genus Anchusa (Boraginaceae) from Iran (10 Nov 2015)
The present study reports the chromosome number and meiotic behaviour of 14 populationsbelonging to four taxa of Anchusa subgenus Buglossum Gusul. from Iran. All populationsshowed the chromosome number 2n= 4x= 32. It is the first meiotic study for A. subg.Buglossum. We discuss some habit form and evolutionary aspect in the light of cytogeneticdata. The origin of polyploidy (auto-allopolyploidy)...
متن کاملCYTOGENETICAL STUDY IN SOME ALFALFA CULTIVARS OF IRAN
A cytogenetical study on 13 alfalfa (Medicago sativa) cultivars available in Iranian Forest and Rangelands Genebank was performed in order to obtain basic information on the variability in chiasma frequency/distribution, chromosome association and segregation. Such cytogenetic information is useful for planning hybridization programs. Cluster analysis of meiotic data and ordination of cultivars...
متن کاملGene expression profiling of the mouse gut: Effect of intestinal flora on intestinal health
The present study aimed to investigate the molecular mechanisms, including potential genes, pathways and interactions, underlying the effect of intestinal flora on intestinal health. The gene expression profiles of GSE22648 were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database to screen differentially expressed genes (DEGs). The Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discover...
