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

In organisms ranging from vertebrates to plants, major components of centromeres are
rapidly evolving repeat sequences, such as tandem repeats (TRs) and transposable …

Centromeres are essential for chromosome segregation in eukaryotes, yet their specification
is unexpectedly diverse among species and can involve major transitions such as those …

Large genome structural variations can impact genome regulation and integrity. Repeat-rich
regions like pericentric heterochromatin are vulnerable to structural rearrangements …

Background Centromeres depend on chromatin containing the conserved histone H3
variant CENP-A for function and inheritance, while the role of centromeric DNA repeats …

The Drosophila genus is ideal for studying genome evolution due to its simple chromosome
structure and small genome size, with rearrangements mainly restricted to within …

Abstract The conference “Transposable Elements at the Crossroads of Evolution, Health and
Disease” was hosted by Keystone Symposia in Whistler, British Columbia, Canada, on …

Centromeres are essential chromosomal landmarks that dictate the point of attachment
between chromosomes and spindle microtubules during cell division. The stable …
