Chromosome anchors become spherical before cell division
Original: Shell game: Chromosome anchors become spherical before cell division
New research reported by EurekAlert! finds that chromosome anchors, the structures that hold chromosomes in place, change from their usual shape into a spherical form before a cell divides. The finding, described as a 'shell game', offers fresh insight into how cells prepare their genetic material for division, with implications for understanding cell biology.
Why now: A newly published study reveals an unexpected shape change in chromosomes during cell division.
