Scientists have developed a new method that has given "pivotal insights into the process of cell division" (http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/151968.php). The process consists of using ultra fast laser pulses to slice chromosomes into portions and observing how they behave. Scientists believe that "polar ejection forces" (http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/151968.php) are present in chromosome separation. This belief has now become fact due to chromosome laser slicing.
It is believed that the study of chromosome behaviour will assist researchers in bettering understanding genetic diseases, aging and cancer.
