Chromosome dynamics: the case of the missing condensin

Abstract
Condensins are conserved protein complexes that play integral roles in chromosome dynamics during mitosis and meiosis. Caenorhabditis elegans has been thought to be unusual in that it appeared to lack a typical condensin I complex. However, recent biochemical excavating in the nematode has unearthed the 'missing' condensin I complex as well as the worm homologs of long-lost canonical condensin subunits.
