Building a bridge from chromosomes to microtubules in Neurospora crassa

Creator:

Friedman, Steven

Abstract:

DNA is often described as the “blueprint for life”. In eukaryotes this information is contained within linear chromosomes of varying size and number. During cell division, the chromosomes must be faithfully segregated into each daughter cell to avoid disease and sustain life. This process is carried out by the kinetochore...

Studies on the centromere-specific histone, CenH3, of Neurospora crassa and related ascomycetes

Creator:

Phatale, Pallavi A.

Abstract:

In eukaryotes, the defined loci on each chromosome, the centromeres, accomplish the critical task of correct cell division. In some organisms, centromeres are composed of a euchromatic central core region embedded in a stretch of heterochromatin and the inheritance and maintenance of centromeres are controlled by dynamic epigenetic phenomena. Although...
