In our latest paper, we uncover condensin II as a novel BLM interactor critical for genome stability in S phase. Condensin II contributes to BLM localization at active forks and undergoes a transient structural change in S phase. https://t.co/rHRyRFtMC9

The spindle assembly checkpoint in #yeast has been implicated in promoting large chromosomal arrangements, which can cause cancer. A new #GENETICS study revisits this observation, finding it originated from an experimental artifact & does not hold true. https://t.co/WcZGqLuksx
