Abstract excerpt
Although aneuploidy is generally detrimental to the survival and growth of normal cells, it can be beneficial under certain stress conditions, such as those caused by harmful mutations. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, we find that duplication of chromosome III accelerates cell proliferation in the orc5-1 mutant. Enhanced proliferation is also observed when a fragment from a different chromosome is introduced,...
