One of the hallmarks of cancer is chromosome instability (CIN), which leads to aneuploidy, translocations and other chromosome aberrations. However, in the vast majority of human tumors the molecular basis of CIN remains unknown, partially because not all genes controlling chromosome transmission have yet been identified. To address this question, we have developed an experimental high-throughput imaging (HTI) siRNA assay that allows the identification of novel CIN genes. Our method uses a human artificial chromosome (HAC) expressing the GFP transgene...
