Abstract
The mitotic spindle of the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae will prob ably be the first such organelle to be understood in molecular detail. Here we describe the mitotic spindle cycle of budding yeast using electron-micr oscope-derived structures and dynamic live-cell imaging. Recent work has re vealed that many general aspects of mitosis are conserved, making budding y east an excellent model for the study of mitosis.
