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 ...

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 ...

Crossover recombination is non-random across the genome, and centromere-proximal crossovers are associated with an increased risk of aneuploidy, including Trisomy 21 in humans. Here, we identify the ...
