Figure 1 Retention of Low-Level Transcription during Mitosis During mitosis, chromatin condenses through high-density packaging of the basic beads-on-a-string nucleosomal fibers, rather than through the formation of higher-order structures. Transcription is not shut down completely, but cells maintain a selective gene transcription program through mitosis.
