A simple biophysical model emulates budding yeast chromosome condensation
eLife, 2015 Mitotic chromosomes were one of the first cell biological structures to be described, yet their molecular architecture remains poorly understood. We have devised a simple biophysical model of a 300 kb-long nucleosome chain, the size of a budding yeast ...

Mad2, Bub3, and Mps1 regulate chromosome segregation and mitotic synchrony in Giardia intestinalis, a binucleate protist lacking an anaphase-promoting complex. [PDF]
, 2014 The binucleate pathogen Giardia intestinalis is a highly divergent eukaryote with a semiopen mitosis, lacking an anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) and many of the mitotic checkpoint complex (MCC) proteins.

Segregation but Not Replication of the
mBio, 2018 Coordination between chromosome replication and segregation is essential for equal partitioning of genetic material between daughter cells. In bacteria, this is achieved through the proximity of the origin of replication, oriC, and the chromosome ...

Nuclear Organization and Chromosome Segregation [PDF]
The Plant Cell, 1999 The genetic information underlying plant form and function is contained within the cell nucleus in the form of complex, dynamic DNA–protein structures—the chromosomes. The faithful transmission of these structures during mitosis and meiosis requires extensive chromosome reorganization and ...

Super-Resolution Mapping of Neuronal Circuitry With an Index-Optimized Clearing Agent
Cell Reports, 2016 Super-resolution imaging deep inside tissues has been challenging, as it is extremely sensitive to light scattering and spherical aberrations. Here, we report an optimized optical clearing agent for high-resolution fluorescence imaging (SeeDB2).

CENH3-GFP: a visual marker for gametophytic and somatic ploidy determination in Arabidopsis thaliana [PDF]
, 2016 Background: The in vivo determination of the cell-specific chromosome number provides a valuable tool in several aspects of plant research. However, current techniques to determine the endosystemic ploidy level do not allow non-destructive, cell-specific

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.A comprehensive genomic and proteomic analysis of cervical cancer revealed STK11 and STX3 as a potential biomarkers of chemoradiation resistance. Our study demonstrated EGFR as a therapeutic target, paving the way for precision strategies to overcome treatment failure and the DNA repair pathway as a critical mechanism of resistance.
