[Go] MT attachment to chromosome

[Midori Harris]

I think what would really help are those spatial relationship types that 
we've talked about with Chris. Kinetochore-chromosome is one of many cases 
where I suspect that biologists would expect to see some connection (tho 
I'm sure Rex or Val can correct me if I'm wrong), so we've used part_of 
even though it's far from ideal.
