In the absence of DDM1 and RNAi, this TE doesn’t produce small RNAs, so the centromere is not methylated. These mutants also had few epigenetic tags on their histones, which contribute to the ...

centroAnno is a prior-independent tool for automatic and efficient centromere/tendem repeat structural analysis across multiple species. centroAnno supports the analysis of repeat units and ...

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, ...
