Microtubule assembly in meiotic extract requires glycogen

We identified a clarified extract containing the soluble factors for microtubule assembly. We found that microtubule assembly does not require ribosomes, mitochondria, or membranes. Our clarified extracts will provide a powerful tool for activity-based biochemical fractionations for microtubule asse...
