Spindle Dynamics Model Explains Chromosome Loss Rates in Yeast Polyploid Cells

Faithful chromosome segregation, driven by the mitotic spindle, is essential for organismal survival. Neopolyploid cells from diverse species exhibit a significant increase in mitotic errors relative to their diploid progenitors, resulting in chromosome nondisjunction. In the model system Saccharomy...
