Their subject was the new technology of recombinant DNA — molecules created in a laboratory by stitching together genetic material from different organisms. Researchers were excited by the ...

If centrosomes were involved in the biased segregation of chromatids, the required communication between centrosomes and DNA would take place before the separation of chromatids during anaphase ...

Janet Mertz’s work with simian virus 40 DNA during her graduate years was pivotal for developing DNA recombination as we now know it.

The segregation of sister DNAs during mitosis requires that they are first disentangled and organised into individual sister chromatids before being pulled in opposite directions by the mitotic ...

Accurate chromosome segregation requires kinetochores on duplicated chromatids to biorient by attaching to dynamic microtubules from opposite spindle poles, which exerts forces to bring kinetochores ...
