X Abstract

Old and newly synthesized centrosomes have different microtubule nucleating abilities and they contribute to cell polarity when they migrate to opposite poles during cell division. The asymmetric localization of epigenetic marks and kinetochore proteins could lead to the differential recognition of sister chromatids and the biased segregation of DNA strands to daughter cells during cell division. We propose that this asymmetric localization is linked to biased chromatid segregation, which might also be related to the acquisition of distinct cell fates after mitosis.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
