  1. Cells from Figure 3C were analyzed for the localization of CEN5-GFP dots on the spindle, average spindle lengths and sister centromere separation. Y and Y+Y refer respectively to unsplit and split sister kinetochores on the spindle. G and G+G refer to unsplit and split sister kinetochores, respectively, not on the spindle. Y+G refers to split kinetochores in which one sister lies on and the other outside the spindle. 60-100 cells were analyzed in each case. The statistical significance of the spindle length comparisons was validated by the p-value of ≤ 0.001.
