Abstract excerpt
At metaphase, DNA in a human chromosome is estimated to be compacted at least 10,000 fold in length. However, the higher order mechanisms by which the chromosomes are organized in interphase and subsequently further condensed in mitosis have largely remained elusive. One generally overlooked participant in chromosome condensation is DNA replication. Many early studies of eukaryotic chromosome organization and...
