The centromere is the thinnest part of the chromosome that divides it into a long and short arm, much like how the waist ...

Without centromeres, cells cannot divide properly and the overall process of mitosis fails. Why are these small chromosomal regions so essential to such a major cellular process? With a few ...

Researchers propose a two-step regulatory mechanism for non-Rabl configurations of centromeres in the nucleus. Centromeres are chromosomal domains that link pairs of sister chromatids together during ...

To convert a piece of cloned DNA into a centromere-containing human artificial chromosome (HAC), an array of repeated LacO sequences is incorporated into the DNA. The DNA is then transfected into ...
