Mitosis and meiosis are processes of nuclear division in cells. This volume is a handbook on the modern techniques used to study mitosis and meiosis, with an emphasis on the copmposition and function of centrosomes, spindle pole bodies, and kinetochore structure.

Mitosis and Meiosis details the wide variety of methods currently used to study how cells divide as yeast and insect spermatocytes, higher plants, and sea urchin zygotes. With chapters covering micromanipulation of chromosomes and making, expressing, and imaging GFP-fusion proteins, this volume contains state-of-the-art "how to" secrets that allow researchers to obtain novel information on the biology of centrosomes and kinetochores and how these organelles interact to form the spindle.
