Transposable elements (TEs) are mobile DNA sequences that propagate within genomes.
Through diverse invasion strategies, TEs have come to occupy a substantial fraction of …

Satellite DNA consists of abundant tandem repeats that play important roles in cellular
processes, including chromosome segregation, genome organization and chromosome end …

Mobile elements and repetitive genomic regions are sources of lineage-specific genomic
innovation and uniquely fingerprint individual genomes. Comprehensive analyses of such …

Transposable elements (TEs) are mobile DNA sequences that colonize genomes and
threaten genome integrity. As a result, several mechanisms appear to have emerged during …

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

The centromere performs a universally conserved function, to accurately partition genetic
information upon cell division. Yet, centromeres are among the most rapidly evolving …

Genome assemblies are currently being produced at an impressive rate by consortia and
individual laboratories. The low costs and increasing efficiency of sequencing technologies …

Centromeres (CEN) are the chromosomal regions that play a crucial role in maintaining
genomic stability. The underlying highly repetitive DNA sequences can evolve quickly in …

The impact of transposable elements (TEs) on the evolution of the eukaryote genome has
been observed in a number of biological processes, such as the recruitment of the host's …

Centromeres are rapidly evolving across eukaryotes, despite performing a conserved
function to ensure high-fidelity chromosome segregation. CENP-A chromatin is a hallmark of …
