Comment on "Close loop peer review" by Michael Hill.

abstract：:Chromosomal instability (CIN) refers to the rate at which cells are unable to properly segregate whole chromosomes, leading to aneuploidy. Besides its prevalence in cancer cells and postulated implications in promoting tumorigenesis, studies in aneuploidy-prone mouse models uncovered an unanticipated link between CIN ...
