Abstract excerpt
Nuclear organization of chromosomes proceeds with significant changes during meiosis. In the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, centromeres are clustered at the spindle-pole body (SPB) during the mitotic cell cycle; however, during meiotic prophase telomeres become clustered to the SPB and centromeres dissociate from the SPB. We followed the movement of telomeres, centromeres and sister chromatids in living...
