Abstract

Sister chromatid identification Here Peter Lansdorp and colleagues describe a new technique for the observation of chromatid segregation in mitotic cells in vivo. They find that sister chromatids can be distinguished by virtue of the organization of repetitive DNA relative to major satellite DNA, making it possible to differentially label sister chromatids and study their segregation in dividing cells. They find that whereas sister chromatids appear to be randomly distributed between daughter cells in cultured lung fibroblasts and embryonic stem cells, non-random sister chromatid segregation occurs in a subset of colon crypt epithelial cells.
