The selfish yeast plasmid utilizes the condensin complex and condensed chromatin for faithful partitioning.

Equipartitioning by chromosome association and copy number correction by DNA amplification are at the heart of the evolutionary success of the selfish yeast 2-micron plasmid. The present analysis reveals frequent plasmid presence near telomeres (TELs) and centromeres (CENs) in mitotic cells, with a...
