Kinetochore life histories reveal the origins of chromosome mis-segregation and correction mechanisms
2021-03-31
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Chromosome mis-segregation during mitosis leads to daughter cells with deviant karyotypes (aneuploidy) and an increased mutational burden through chromothripsis of mis-segregated chromosomes. The rate of mis-segregation and the aneuploidy state are hallmarks of cancer and linked to cancer genome evolution. Errors can manifest as “lagging chromosomes” in anaphase, although the mechanistic origins...
