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

Centromeres are essential regions of eukaryotic chromosomes responsible for the formation
of kinetochore complexes, which connect to spindle microtubules during cell division …

Satellite DNA represents one of the most fascinating parts of the repetitive fraction of the
eukaryotic genome. Since the discovery of highly repetitive tandem DNA in the 1960s, a lot …

Chromatin consists of a complex of DNA and histone proteins as its core components and
plays an important role in both packaging DNA and regulating DNA metabolic pathways …

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

Female meiosis provides an opportunity for selfish genetic elements to violate Mendel's law
of segregation by increasing the chance of segregating to the egg [1]. Centromeres and …

For decades, satellite DNAs have been the hidden part of genomes. Initially considered as
junk DNA, there is currently an increasing appreciation of the functional significance of …

Transposable elements (TEs) are mobile units of DNA that comprise large portions of plant
genomes. Besides creating mutations via transposition and contributing to genome size, TEs …

Background Centromeres are essential for faithful chromosome segregation during mitosis
and meiosis. However, the organization of satellite DNA and chromatin at mouse …

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