Centromeres are composed of condensed and ... it is not known whether centrosomes contain information for driving biased chromatid segregation (see below). Figure 2: Possible links between ...

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 ...

which are complex platelike structures that assemble during prometaphase on one face of each sister chromatid at its centromere. As prometaphase ensues, chromosomes are pulled and tugged in ...

In the absence of DDM1 and RNAi, this TE doesn’t produce small RNAs, so the centromere is not methylated. These mutants also ...

Super-resolution microscopy image of a mitotic chromosome (white) with the centromeres of each sister chromatid depicted in orange. Each centromere consists of two distinct chromatin subdomains ...

A genomic study of human and selected nonhuman primate centromeres has revealed their unimaginable diversity and speed of ...

Each chromatid is a full length DNA molecule ... Replicated chromosomes remain attached to each other by their central region: the centromere. As long as they remain attached to each other ...

Since sister chromatids are identical to each other, recombination with a sister chromatid is expected, in most cases, to be a precise way for repairing DNA damage. Recombination between 2 different ...
