Chromosome Segregation: A Spatial Code to Correct Kinetochore-Microtubule Attachments

Erroneous kinetochore-microtubule interactions must be detected and corrected before a cell enters anaphase to prevent chromosome mis-segregation. Two new studies describe an Aurora A-mediated error correction mechanism based on the spatial position of a chromosome within the mitotic spindle.
