Info:
Scientists report developing a strategy to examine what happens when chromosomes do not segregate properly. They found that missegregation into a micronucleus leads to a cascade of events affecting several cell cycles. PippinHT was used for size selection prior to paired-end sequencing on an Illumina HiSeq 2500 instrument.
