Discovery of an Unconventional Centromere in Budding Yeast Redefines Evolution of Point Centromeres
Centromeres are the chromosomal regions promoting kinetochore assembly for chromosome segregation. In many eukaryotes, the centromere consists of up to mega base pairs of DNA. On such “regional centromeres,” kinetochore assembly is mainly defined by epigenetic regulation [1]. By contrast, a clade of...
