They found that two protein complexes work together to determine the centromere distribution during cell division: condesin II (CII) and the linker of nucleoskeleton and cotoskeleton (LINC). “The ...

The number of chromosomes in different Malassezia species varies between six and nine. A region of each chromosome known as the centromere is responsible for ensuring that the equal numbers of ...

To convert a piece of cloned DNA into a centromere-containing human artificial chromosome (HAC), an array of repeated LacO sequences is incorporated into the DNA. The DNA is then transfected into ...

In budding yeast, a single cenH3 (Cse4) nucleosome occupies the ∼120-bp functional centromere, however conflicting structural models for the particle have been proposed. To resolve this controversy, ...
