Funded Activity Summary

When a cell divides, its hereditary material (DNA) must be copied and equally segregated into each daughter cell. Our DNA is organised into a number of long units known as chromosomes. In order for our genetic material to be faithfully segregated into two daughter cells, the chromosomes must compact nearly 10,000 fold. A key component is condensin and we aim to find out how condensin directs the organisation and compaction of the mammalian chromosome.
