Abstract excerpt
Meiosis resembles mitosis but employs a unique "reductional" nuclear division to allow the production of haploid gametes from diploid cells. The crucial ploidy reduction step requires that sister kinetochores attach to microtubules emanating from the same spindle pole, achieving "monopolar attachment," which ensures that maternal and paternal chromosomes are segregated. Here we screened for factors required to...
