Hypothesis

Mechanisms capable of recommensuring the stack of chromatids after topological shifts of duplicated units are discussed.

Conclusion

The dynamics of the highly non-linear processes discussed may be relevant to duplications of smaller subunits within malignant genomes.

Takeaway

When chromosomes duplicate, they can sometimes get mixed up, but there are ways for them to fix themselves so they work properly again.
