Abstract excerpt
Microtubules are polymers required for chromosome segregation. Their drug-induced hyperstabilization impairs chromosome segregation and is an established anti-cancer therapy. How cells respond to microtubule hyperstabilization, however, is incompletely understood. To study this, we evolved budding yeast cells expressing a microtubule-hyperstabilizing tubulin mutant and isolated adapted strains. Aneuploidy of...
