Forming chromosomes

What are the principal structural and biochemical events that drive chromosome formation as cells enter mitosis?
Coating chromosomes

How do nucleolar proteins and RNAs assemble the mitotic chromosome periphery compartment and is this important?
Segregating chromosomes

How is centromere chromatin assembled, organised and disassembled during mitosis on an endogenous vertebrate chromosome and during human artificial chromosome (HAC) formation?

Controlling the process

How do mitotic kinases, including Cdk1 and Aurora B in the Chromosomal Passenger Complex (CPC), regulate events during synchronous entry and exit from mitosis?
