The ability of the genome to adopt a dynamic 3D organisation underlies most DNA transactions. The profound reorganisation of long chromatin fibres into rod-shaped chromosomes in mitosis is an iconic example of this structural dynamics.The main goal of our research is to understand the cellular mechanisms that take place at the chromatin level for the assembly of segregation-competent mitotic chromosomes. We use the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe and human cultured cells as model systems.
