Centromeres are the eukaryotic chromosomal sites at which the kinetochore forms and
attaches to spindle microtubules to orchestrate chromosomal segregation in mitosis and …

Satellite DNAs are now regarded as powerful and active contributors to genomic and
chromosomal evolution. Paired with mobile transposable elements, these repetitive …

The horse reference genome from the Thoroughbred mare Twilight has been available for a
decade and, together with advances in genomics technologies, has led to unparalleled …

Human centromeres appear as constrictions on mitotic chromosomes and form a platform for
kinetochore assembly in mitosis. Biophysical experiments led to a suggestion that repetitive …

Centromeres are epigenetically specified by the histone H3 variant CENP-A. Although
mammalian centromeres are typically associated with satellite DNA, we previously …

Human centromeres form primarily on α-satellite DNA but sporadically arise de novo at
naive ectopic loci, creating neocentromeres. Centromere inheritance is driven primarily by …

Although chromosome rearrangements (CRs) are central to studies of genome evolution,
our understanding of the evolutionary consequences of the early stages of karyotypic …

Centromeres are epigenetically specified by the histone H3 variant CENP-A and typically
associated with highly repetitive satellite DNA. We previously discovered natural satellite …

Mammalian centromeres are associated with highly repetitive DNA (satellite DNA), which
has so far hindered molecular analysis of this chromatin domain. Centromeres are …

The centromere is the nucleoproteic chromosomal structure necessary for accurate
chromosome segregation during cell division. One of the earliest centromeric proteins to be …
