Rabl configuration
Associated persons:
Carl Rabl
Description:
A configuration in which the chromosome configuration of anaphase (centromeres pointing towards poles, telomeres dragging behind) is "frozen" throughout the next cell cycle. The presence of the Rabl organization is known to vary greatly between species and among tissues or developmental stages of an organism. Some cells lose the Rabl organization soon after entering interphase, whereas others retain the organization through to the next mitosis.
