Source sentences:
text: Centromeres are specialised chromosomal regions that act as a platform for the assembly of kinetochores, the microtubule anchoring sites essential for chromosome segregation during mitosis and meiosis (Musacchio & Desai, 2017 ).
text: Yet mutants in which kinetochore structure is lost (for instance Ndc10 mutants in yeast) are deficient both in the connection to microtubules and in the ability to activate the spindle checkpoint, probably because kinetochores work as a platform in which the components of the response are assembled.
