Scientists have uncovered how brewer’s yeast developed its unusually tiny centromeres, the DNA regions that guide chromosome ...

Centromeres serve the same fundamental purpose across nearly all forms of life. These regions of DNA ensure that chromosomes are properly separated ...

南湖新闻网讯（通讯员 黄宇虹）近日，我校作物遗传改良全国重点实验室、湖北洪山实验室小麦团队苏汉东教授课题组在Molecular Plant在线发表“Evolutionary innovations and genetic diversity in angiosperm centromeres”的研究论文 南湖新闻网讯（通讯员 黄宇虹）近日，我校作物 ...

A team of scientists has successfully completed the first gap-free, telomere-to-telomere (T2T) genome assembly for Forsythia suspensa, a widely used ornamental and medicinal shrub. This complete ...

Six years ago, when Glennis Logsdon was a graduate student, everyone assumed that centromeres had conserved sequences and structures given their essential role in divvying up genetic material. “We had ...

Centromeres play virtually the same central role across the entire tree of life: They ensure the faithful segregation of chromosomes during cell division. Yet the striking diversity in centromere ...

A genomic study of human and selected nonhuman primate centromeres has revealed their unimaginable diversity and speed of evolutionary change. In cell genetics, a centromere is the spot where two ...

A genomic study of human and selected nonhuman primate centromeres has revealed their unimaginable diversity and speed of evolutionary change. Although centromeres are vital to proper cell replication ...

Recombination at centromeres is higher than anywhere else on the chromosome, even though methyltransferases do their best to prevent it, say Jaco et al., as published in the June 16 issue of the ...
