  • Anaphase in fission yeast ensures faithful genome inheritance through abrupt and synchronous sister chromatid separation.
  • Chromosome segregation synchrony relies on rapid degradation of securin, a separase inhibitor, and does not require separase-mediated positive feedback.
  • Stochastic modeling shows that anaphase synchrony is noise-limited due to small-number effects, constraining its temporal precision.
