title: Aurora B/C in Meiosis: Correct Me If I'm Right.
abstract: In this issue of Developmental Cell, Yoshida et al. (2015) report that during meiosis I in mouse oocytes, the kinase Aurora B/C continuously destabilizes chromosome attachments to spindle microtubules, which potentially provides an explanation for the notably high error rate of chromosome segregation in mammalian oocytes.
