Zusammenfassung: | Highlights • State-of-the-art technologies provide new insights into chromosome organization. • Mitotic chromatids can be reconstituted in vitro using only six purified factors. • HEAT subunits of condensin I are essential for chromosome axis assembly. • Mutations in condensin subunits cause microcephaly and promote tumorigenesis. • Interphase TADs may be linked to cytological bands on mitotic chromosomes. |
