Chromosome labeling with EdU. a Labeled region localization and morphology revealed the principle of prophase chromosome condensation. Linearly arranged, labeled chromosome regions during the transition from early to late prophase would either lose the linearity arrangement (folding) or retain the linear arrangement (thickening). b Three patterns of EdU incorporation were detected in the chromosomes: labeling of discrete regions (pattern 1), labeling of chromosome arms but not centromeres (pattern 2) and labeling of both chromosome arms and centromeres (pattern 3). c Frequencies of different labeling patterns at different time points after EdU incorporation. Scale bars: 5 μm
