Mitotic chromosome condensation has fascinated biologists since Flemming's early illustrations of mitosis in the late nineteenth century. Now — 130 years later — chromatid condensation

condensin I. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution ACCESS OPTIONS Access through your institution Subscribe
