Abstract excerpt
Disorder in sister chromatid separation can lead to genome instability and cancer. A temperature-sensitive S. pombe mis6-302 frequently loses a minichromosome at 26 degrees C and abolishes equal segregation of regular chromosomes at 36 degrees C. The mis6+ gene is essential for viability, and its deletion results in missegregation identical to mis6-302. Mis6 acts before or at the onset of S phase, and mitotic...
