Centromere dynamics and chromosome evolution in marsupials.

The Journal of heredity - 1 Jan 2000

O'Neill R J, Eldridge M D B, Metcalfe C J

Abstract excerpt

The eukaryotic centromere poses an interesting evolutionary paradox: it is a chromatin entity indispensable to precise chromosome segregation in all eukaryotes, yet the DNA at the heart of the centromere is remarkably variable. Its important role of spindle attachment to the kinetochore during meiosis and mitosis notwithstanding, recent studies implicate the centromere as an active player in chromosome evolution...
