Abstract excerpt
During the eukaryotic cell cycle, genetic material must be accurately duplicated and faithfully segregated to each daughter cell. Segregation of chromosomes is dependent on the centromere, a region of the chromosome which interacts with mitotic spindle microtubules during cell division. Centromere function in the budding yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, can be regulated by placing an inducible promotor adjacent...
