Centromeres are the chromosomal domains required to ensure faithful transmission of the
genome during cell division. They have a central role in preventing aneuploidy, by …

All living organisms need to duplicate their genetic information while protecting it from
unwanted mutations, which can lead to genetic disorders and cancer development …

Centromeres, the chromosomal loci where spindle fibers attach during cell division to
segregate chromosomes, are typically found within satellite arrays in plants and animals …

Genomic rearrangements associated with speciation often result in variation in chromosome
number among closely related species. Malassezia species show variable karyotypes …

Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Schizosaccharomyces pombe have served as uncontested
unicellular model organisms, as major discoveries made in the field of genome biology …

The centromere, on which kinetochore proteins assemble, ensures precise chromosome
segregation. Centromeres are largely specified by the histone H3 variant CENP-A (also …

Human centromeres are located within α-satellite arrays and evolve rapidly, which can lead
to individual variation in array length. Proposed mechanisms for such alterations in length …

The arrival of novel predators can trigger trophic cascades driven by shifts in prey numbers.
Predators also elicit behavioral change in prey populations, via phenotypic plasticity and/or …

Biophysical studies of the yeast centromere have shown that the organization of the
centromeric chromatin plays a crucial role in maintaining proper tension between sister …

Precise kinetochore-microtubule interactions ensure faithful chromosome segregation in
eukaryotes. Centromeres, identified as scaffolding sites for kinetochore assembly, are …
