Chromosome segregation requires the removal of cohesion and catenation between sister chromosomes, two physical linkages established during DNA replication. Two new studies reveal that, among other functions, the wings apart-like protein (Wapl) coordinates cohesin removal with decatenation of sister chromosomes during mitosis in mammalian cells.
