The paper demonstrates how embryos use microtubule dynamics and temporal control to achieve robust cytoplasmic partitioning through two distinct strategies in zebrafish and Drosophila.

The paper shows that spindle length and the cell cycle oscillator regulate the speed of chromosome separation during Drosophila blastoderm cleavage divisions.

The paper investigates whether loss of the mismatch repair protein Msh2 relaxes species boundaries between Cryptococcus neoformans and C. deneoformans, finding increased hybrid viability and aneuploidy but no increased recombination.
