Microchromosomes are prevalent in nonmammalian vertebrates [PD Waters et al., Proc.
Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 118 (2021)], but a few of them are missing in bird genome assemblies …

Centromeres are essential to genome inheritance, serving as the site of kinetochore
assembly and coordinating chromosome segregation during cell division. Abnormal …

The kinetochore plays an essential role in facilitating chromosome segregation during cell
division. This massive protein complex assembles onto the centromere of chromosomes and …

Kinetochore is an essential protein complex required for accurate chromosome segregation.
The constitutive centromere-associated network (CCAN), a subcomplex of the kinetochore …

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 scaffolds for the assembly of kinetochores that ensure chromosome
segregation during cell division. How vertebrate centromeres obtain a three-dimensional …

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

The kinetochore is a large protein complex, which is assembled at the centromere of a
chromosome to ensure faithful chromosome segregation during M-phase. The centromere in …

Eukaryotes segregate their chromosomes during mitosis and meiosis by attaching
chromosomes to the microtubules of the spindle so that they can be distributed into daughter …

Centromeres are built on repetitive DNA sequences (CenDNA) and a specific chromatin
enriched with the histone H3 variant CENP‐A, the epigenetic mark that identifies centromere …
