CDK12 Is Critical For Proper Chromosome Alignment And Progression Through Mitosis

Caption

Left: The process of cell division, called mitosis, showing structures called microtubules (orange) pulling the chromosomes (blue) to opposite sides, called spindle poles, of the cell. CDK12 is critical for proper chromosome alignment and progression through mitosis. Right: Without CDK12 the chromosomes become misaligned and detach from the spindle poles.
