Abstract excerpt
The spindle checkpoint is a surveillance mechanism that ensures the fidelity of chromosome segregation by inhibiting anaphase onset until all chromosomes have established stable bipolar attachments. Here we describe a number of protocols that can be used to assay the ability of budding and fission yeast cells to (1) establish and maintain a spindle checkpoint arrest, and (2) segregate chromosomes efficiently upon...
