Highlights
- •
Spindle twist depends on torque-generating motors Eg5, Kif18A, MKLP1, and dynein
- •
Without the microtubule nucleator augmin, spindles show right-handed twist
- •
Compression of the spindle along the axis increases the left-handed twist
- •
Rounder spindles are more twisted than elongated ones are
