Patrick Flynn received his AB in physics summa cum laude today, with the honors recognizing his thesis, Dynamics of mitotic microtubules in fission yeast. Congratulations!
Our paper "Contributions of microtubule dynamic instability and rotational diffusion to kinetochore capture" was published in final form today by the Biophysical Journal and highlighted on the Biophysical Journal website.
Recent work has found that microtubule rotational diffusion about minus-end attachment points contributes to kinetochore capture in fission yeast, but the relative contributions of dynamic instability and rotational diffusion are not well understood.
Our paper "Contributions of microtubule dynamic instability and rotational diffusion to kinetochore capture" was posted on the arXiv preprint server today.
