The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

The cell cycle and cancer (2012, background): “S phase is initiated by cyclin A-CDK2, and cyclin B-CDK1 regulates progression through G2 and entry into mitosis [8].”
The small molecule Hesperadin reveals a role for Aurora B in correcting kinetochore–microtubule attachment and in maintaining the spindle assembly checkpoint (2003, background): “Metazoans contain up to three members of the Aurora kinase family (Aurora A, B, and C), whereas budding and fission yeast only possess one family member (Ipl1 and Ark1, respectively) (Nigg, 2001).”
Functional diversity of protein phosphatase-1, a cellular economizer and reset button. (2004, background): “The splitting of the centrosomes is accompanied by the recruitment of -tubulin ring complexes, which function as nucleation sites for microtubules (281).”
Drosophila Aurora B Kinase Is Required for Histone H3 Phosphorylation and Condensin Recruitment during Chromosome Condensation and to Organize the Central Spindle during Cytokinesis (2001, background): “We will refer to these families as Aurora-like kinases A and B, respectively, as recently suggested by Nigg (2001).”
Human TPX2 is required for targeting Aurora-A kinase to the spindle (2002, background): “In many cases, these changes are brought about by reversible phosphorylation, and several protein kinases and phosphatases undergo at least transient association with either centrosomes or spindle MTs (Nigg, 2001).”
