Supplementary information p.3 3rd paragraph: "Calculation of the predicted overall rate of chromosome missegregation: The estimated overall rate of chromosome missegregation in cells with a normal bipolar mitosis was estimated by multiplying the average of the rates obtained in Fig. 1c,d for anaphase/telophase cells by the total number of different chromosomes in the cell (twenty-three). For N/TERT-1 cells, the average rate of missegregation was 0.075% per chromosome, whereas for HeLa cells the average rate was 0.315% per chromosome. Multiplying each of these rates by twenty-three yields overall rates of 1.73% for N/TERT-1 cells and 7.25% for HeLa cells. This calculation assumes that all chromosomes have a similar nondisjunction rate and segregate independently." |
| Comments |
This means that 1.73% of dividing cells will have one chromosome missegragation. |
