Chromosomal attachments set length and microtubule number in the Saccharomyces cerevisiae mitotic spindle

Altering the number of kinetochores revealed that chromosomal attachments set the length of the metaphase spindle and the number of microtubules within it. Reducing the number of kinetochores increases length, whereas adding extra kinetochores shortens it, suggesting that kinetochore-generated inwar...
