Species-specific shifts in centromere sequence composition are coincident with breakpoint reuse in karyotypically divergent lineages.

Genome biology - 1 Jan 2007

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: It has been hypothesized that rapid divergence in centromere sequences accompanies rapid karyotypic change during speciation. However, the reuse of breakpoints coincident with centromeres in the evolution of divergent karyotypes poses a potential paradox. In distantly related species where the same centromere breakpoints are used in the independent derivation of karyotypes, centromere-specific...
