The spatial distribution of genes inside the cell nucleus and their movement towards specific compartments influence their expression as well as chromosome stability and repair. (sciencedaily.com)
Deletion of the fission yeastpot1 + gene has an immediate effect on chromosome stability, causing rapid loss of telomeric DNA and chromosome circularization. (science.sciencemag.org)
Assistant Professor Kristin Baetz, who studies chromosome stability using yeast cells as a model, works with colleagues from different organizations, universities, programs, and disciplines. (sciencemag.org)
