Micromechanical studies on chromosomes reveal interplay between chromatin, SMC complexes, protein networks and mitotic, meiotic, and centromeric stiffness

Description:

The purpose of my thesis research has been to understand the formation of mitotic chromosome structure by using chromosome micromanipulation. Folding mitotic chromosomes from their loose interphase form into their individualized, compacted form is required for easy handling of the chromosomes for cell division. This process is facilitated by several...
