Finally, as we and others have shown, errors in chromosome
segregation during mitosis have dramatic secondary consequences on genome integrity, including translocations, deletions and chromosome shattering (chromothripsis).
We are particularly interested in the processes that ensure correct chromosome
segregation during mitosis.
Heritable genetic variation is the result of genome instability during germ cell development, instability that arises through mutation, chromosome rearrangement or chromosome mis -
segregation during mitosis or meiosis.
Not exact matches
When there is more (polyploidy) or less (haploidy),
mitosis is more prone to errors
during the
segregation of the chromosomes and this activates p53.
It participates in the assembly of a bipolar spindle that ensures accurate
segregation of chromosomes
during mitosis.
