Sister chromatid cohesion is essential for accurate chromosome segregation during the cell cycle. Newly identified structural proteins are required for sister chromatid cohesion and there may be a link in some organisms between the processes of cohesion and condensation. Proteins that induce and regulate the separation of sister chromatids have also been recently identified.

姐妹染色单体黏连对于细胞周期中染色体的准确分离至关重要。新发现的结构蛋白是姐妹染色单体黏连所必需的，并且在某些生物体中，黏连过程和凝聚过程之间可能存在联系。最近也鉴定出了诱导和调节姐妹染色单体分离的蛋白质。（本综述是发表于《细胞生物学当前观点》1998年第10卷第769 - 775页的一篇综述的更新版本。）
