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 …

Grapevine is one of the most economically important crops worldwide. However, the
previous versions of the grapevine reference genome tipically consist of thousands of …

Genome sequence assemblies provide the basis for our understanding of biology.
Generating error-free assemblies is therefore the ultimate, but sadly still unachieved goal of …

INTRODUCTION The centromeres of eukaryotic chromosomes assemble the multiprotein
kinetochore complex and thereby position attachment to the spindle microtubules, allowing …

Centromeres are critical for cell division, loading CENH3 or CENPA histone variant
nucleosomes, directing kinetochore formation and allowing chromosome segregation …

We investigated genome folding across the eukaryotic tree of life. We find two types of three-
dimensional (3D) genome architectures at the chromosome scale. Each type appears and …

Animal genomes show networks of deeply conserved gene linkages whose phylogenetic
scope and chromosomal context remain unclear. Here, we report chromosome-scale …

Using the latest sequencing and optical map** technologies, we have produced a high-
quality de novo assembly of the apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) genome. Repeat …

A complete and accurate genome sequence provides a fundamental tool for functional
genomics and DNA-informed breeding. Here, we assemble a high-quality genome (contig …
