Mitotic Tethers Connect Sister Chromosomes During Anaphase A in PtK2 Cells

Year: 2017

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Laser microsurgery directed between sister telomeres reduced strain in anaphase PtK2 chromosomes. Optical trapping of severed chromosome ends suggests this strain arises from a physical element which links sister chromatids during early anaphase.
