Paired arrangement of kinetochores together with microtubule pivoting and dynamics drive kinetochore capture in meiosis I

Kinetochores are protein complexes on the chromosomes, whose function as linkers between spindle microtubules and chromosomes is crucial for proper cell division. The mechanisms that facilitate kinetochore capture by microtubules are still unclear. In the present study, we combine experiments and th...
