Abstract
Our understanding of the mechanism of sister chromatid cohesion has advance d significantly with the recent identification and characterization of impo rtant regulatory factors, structural factors and chromosomal cohesion sites . These analyses reveal a surprisingly complex mechanism of cohesion that i s just beginning to be elucidated and exciting connections between cohesion , cell-cycle regulation and other forms of DNA metabolism.
