Nuclear envelope assembly defects link mitotic errors to chromothripsis
2018-02-11
Abstract excerpt
Defects in the architecture or integrity of the nuclear envelope (NE) are associated with a variety of human diseases 1 . Micronuclei, one common nuclear aberration, are an origin for chromothripsis 2,3 , a catastrophic mutational process commonly observed in cancer genomes and other contexts 4-6 . Micronuclei have a defective NE, with the extensive chromosome fragmentation that generates chromothripsis occurri...
