Abstract:
In this chapter, we describe a software called MAARS (Mitotic Analysis And Recording System) that enables automatic and quantitative analysis of mitotic progression on an open-source platform. This computer-assisted analysis of cell division allows the unbiased acquisition of multiple parameters such as cell shape or size, metaphase or anaphase delays, as well as various mitotic abnormalities. This chapter describes the power of such an expert system to highlight the complexity of the mechanisms required to prevent mitotic chromosome segregation errors, leading to aneuploidy.
