Genetic and biochemical approaches to spindle function and chromosome segregation in eukaryotic microorganisms.
The past year saw the molecular characterization of components of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae kinetochore and spindle pole body. In Schizosaccharomyces pombe, new cytological methods have been described for detection of centromeric DNA by light microscopy and probable kinetochores by electron microscopy.
