Chromosome segregation synchrony in S. pombe is noise limited and arises without positive feedback

Chromosome segregation is triggered by separase and is abrupt and largely synchronous. Williams et al. show that synchronous chromosome segregation does no

Ever wondered why anaphase onset looks so rapid (but maybe not perfectly synchronous). As it turns out, separase is playing a small numbers game - at least in fission yeast. Thanks to Wendi Williams, @silkehauflab.bsky.social , and everybody involved.

One of the people fired from NOAA today is the director of the Ocean Acidification Program. That program also leads the U.S. government's effort on marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR). The destruction of American science is incomprehensible.
