Functional characterization of the <it>Saccharomyces cerevisiae </it>protein Chl1 reveals the role of sister chromatid cohesion in the maintenance of spindle length during S-phase arrest

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Metaphase cells have short spindles for efficient bi-orientation of chromosomes. The cohesin proteins hold sister chromatids together, creating Sister Chromatid Cohesion (SCC) that helps in the maintenance of short spindle lengths in...
