PDF Islands of genomic stability in the face of genetically unstable Biology Diagrams Genetic Stability and Fidelity. The culmination of DNA replication and mitosis is a testament to the cell's commitment to preserving genetic stability. This stability is not merely a byproduct of these processes but a central objective, ensuring that each daughter cell inherits a complete and accurate set of chromosomes. Mechanisms of genome stability maintenance during cell division DNA Repair (Amst). 2021 Dec:108:103215. doi: 10.1016/j.dnarep.2021.103215. with processes such as DNA replication and transcription in interphase are not expected to pose a major threat to genome stability in mitosis. There are, however, a few exceptions. Mitotic slippage is a cellular process that significantly influences genome stability. It occurs when cells exit mitosis without proper chromosome segregation due to prolonged activation of the spindle assembly checkpoint, leading to polyploidy or aneuploidy—conditions associated with diseases like cancer.
Mitosis results in the splitting of replicated chromosomes during cell division and facilitates the generation of two new identical daughter cells. Given that chromosomes form from parent chromosomes by making exact copies of their DNA, mitosis helps in preserving and maintaining the genetic stability of a particular population. Overview of the molecular mechanisms controlling cell cycle progression and genome stability. The basic alternation between interphase (orange) and mitosis (blue) is governed by the interplay between Cyclin B-dependent kinase-1 (CycB:Cdk1) and B55-dependent protein phosphatase 2A (B55:PP2A).

Direct demonstration of the importance of surveillance pathways in the maintenance of genome stability (Hanahan and strand break repair, and telomeres: a view from the end: how telomeres and the DNA damage response cooperate during mitosis to maintain genome stability.

In this review article we focus on DNA damage responses in G2 and Mitosis. First, we set the stage describing mitosis and the machineries in charge of assembling the apparatus responsible for chromosome alignment and segregation as well as the inputs that control its function (checkpoints). Maintaining Genome Stability in Defiance of Since chromatin is compacted and DNA metabolic events such as transcription largely cease in mitosis [2], a significant proportion of DNA lesions that would strongly interfere with DNA-dependent metabolic events such as transcription and replication during interphase probably have little adverse consequences for the dividing cell.However, there are two categories of aberrant DNA structures
