Alberts, et al., Molecular Biology of the Cell or Essential Cell Biology: chapters on the cell cycle and mitosis. Rieder, C. L. and E. D. Salmon (1998). "The vertebrate cell kinetochore and its roles during mitosis." Trends Cell Biol 8(8): 310-8.
More advanced basic readingNicklas, R. B. (1997). "How cells get the right chromosomes." Science 275(5300): 632-7. A readable paper that summarizes the life’s work of a great scholar of mitosis. Nicklas develops the theme that stability of the chromosome attachment is a result of tension and shows how this provides a logical solution to one of mitosis’ deepest problems. Nurse, P. M. (2002). "Nobel Lecture. Cyclin dependent kinases and cell cycle control." Biosci Rep 22(5-6): 487-99. A review of some great genetic studies that allowed Nurse and his colleagues to help open up a molecular understanding of cell cycle control. McIntosh, J. R., E. L. Grishchuk, R.R. West (2002). "Chromosome-microtubule interactions during mitosis." Annu. Rev. Cell Dev Biol 18: 193-219. A review that focuses on the processes associated with getting chromosomes onto the spindle and segregated, rather than the identification of components.
