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 …

Centromere repositioning refers to a de novo centromere formation at another chromosomal
position without sequence rearrangement. This phenomenon was frequently encountered in …

Centromeres are essential chromosomal regions that mediate kinetochore assembly and
spindle attachments during cell division. Despite their functional conservation, centromeres …

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

Centromere positioning and organization are crucial for genome evolution; however,
research on centromere biology is largely influenced by the quality of available genome …

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

The study of chromosome evolution is undergoing a resurgence of interest owing to
advances in DNA sequencing technology that facilitate the production of chromosome-scale …

The development of new technologies and experimental techniques is enabling researchers
to see what was once unable to be seen. For example, the centromere was first seen as the …

Mobile element insertions (MEIs) are a major class of structural variants (SVs) and have
been linked to many human genetic disorders, including hemophilia, neurofibromatosis, and …
